NEON AUSSIE HELIOFUNGIA LONG TENTACLE PLATE

Neon Aussie Heliofungia Long Tentacle Plate Coral

Transform Your Tank with a Living, Glowing Centerpiece

Looking for a showstopper unlike anything else... 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.

Unlike 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.
