Heliofungia actiniformis (Common)

Heliofungia, commonly known as the Long Tentacle Plate Coral, is a large-polyp stony (LPS) coral recognized for its long, flowing tentacles and round, free-living skeleton. Unlike standard plate corals, Heliofungia displays extended tentacles with visible tips, giving it an anemone-like appearance and graceful movement in the aquarium. Its colors commonly include greens, browns, pinks, and purples, often with contrasting tentacle tips, making it a striking centerpiece in reef tanks.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate
• Flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow
• Placement: Sandbed with space around the coral to prevent tissue damage
• Feeding: Benefits from regular feeding with mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood
