The Neon Aussie Heliofungia is one of the most visually arresting plate corals available to reef keepers today. Sourced from Australian waters renowned for producing some of the most intensely colored specimens on the planet, this Heliofungia delivers sweeping, neon-tipped tentacles that sway with the current and command attention from across the room. Its electric coloration — typically vivid greens, blues, and contrasting tips — makes it a rare find that serious collectors actively seek out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most stony corals, the Heliofungia is a free-living, solitary specimen — it rests unattached on the sandbed and moves slowly over time, giving it a surprisingly dynamic personality for a coral. It can grow to impressive dinner-plate proportions as it matures, making it an increasingly dramatic long-term addition to any saltwater aquarium. When fed meaty foods regularly, it rewards you with rapid growth and a fully extended, almost hypnotic display that never gets old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neon Aussie Long Tentacle Plate Coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies — contact us for available sizing; we stock a range of small to large specimens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — ideal for intermediate to experienced reef keepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive — long tentacles can sting neighboring corals; provide 6–8 inches of clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photosynthetic (requires moderate to high lighting); supplement with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, krill, or small marine pellets 2–3x weekly for best growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e With caution — keep away from adjacent corals due to sweeper tentacle reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 76–80°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | dKH 8–12 | Ca 400–450 ppm | Mg 1250–1350 ppm; moderate flow, moderate to high lighting; place on open sandbed — never on rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Heliofungia we ship has been ethically sourced from Australian aquaculture and collection operations held to strict sustainability standards, then quarantined and conditioned in our Miami facility until it is fully acclimated, actively extending its tentacles, and accepting target feedings.
