The Ultra Neon Purple Heliofungia Plate Coral is one of the rarest color morphs in the plate coral world, and it's available now at The Coral Boutique. This LPS specimen brings an electric purple hue with long, waving tentacles that create constant motion on the reef floor, a level of visual impact that's hard to match in a saltwater aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeliofungia crassa (the Long Tentacle Plate Coral) is a free-living species, meaning it isn't attached to rock and can actually relocate itself short distances across the sand over time. Fully extended, this specimen's tentacles fan out well beyond its skeletal disc, giving it a striking anemone-like presence under reef lighting. It's a slow, steady grower that stays a centerpiece specimen rather than sprawling across your rockwork, making it ideal for sand-bed placement in a mixed reef or LPS-focused display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommon Name: Ultra Neon Purple Heliofungia Plate Coral\u003cbr\u003eCurrent Size: 3-4 inches (disc diameter)\u003cbr\u003eCare Level: Moderate\u003cbr\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive (sweeper tentacles, needs swim room from neighbors)\u003cbr\u003eDiet: Photosynthetic (zooxanthellae) plus benefits from target feeding meaty foods (mysis, small pellets) 2-3x weekly\u003cbr\u003eReef Safe: Yes, with caution (keep 6+ inches from other specimens)\u003cbr\u003eWater Conditions: Temp 76-80°F, pH 8.1-8.4, Alkalinity 8-12 dKH, moderate indirect flow, moderate to high PAR\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 30 gallons\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Aquacultured\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt The Coral Boutique, we specialize in ethically sourced, healthy, and exceptionally rare saltwater aquarium specimens.
