Why do the acans, blastos and echinos get all the love?
Am i the only one who is an avid fungiid collector? Here are a few images of awesome fungiids I have found over the years.

I love them too! Someone has a blue one! Mine is similar to the orange and green one... Love your pictures ...

This thread has promise. I may tag along. I think they are neat corals, though I don't have room for any in my current tank.

Very nice Jake, do you have any of the ones that you took pics of?

Wow, they are beautiful. I've never had a tank with a big enough sandbed for any, but now...hmm...

They dont need sand; in fact, they prefer to be on something hard,

Joe that orange cyclo with blue speckling ins really cool. When are you gonna be building the new systems? let me know when you want me to come help you put it together.

jake, sent you an email.

coralite, mind if I ask where you picked up your orange and blue one? Ive not seen that particular morph around here before... thx

Hey Hormie,
I picked up my orange and green one at an LFS. It had no green visible in it when I got it. The orange and blue one belongs to Joe, you'll have to ask him where he got his.

fungia's are my all time favorite coral. I want to dedicate a tank to them one day. That Orange and green one is insane! Is that a current picture of it?
Here is my new blue baby.

Jake you should add that green and orange one to Coralidea.

These are one of my favorites as well. Wow. Nice pieces. I'm jealous.

I love plates, I'm finally upgrading tanks so I can make my plate garden, I'm in the market for a bright green one, blue or red would be awesome but I've yet to see one for sale online.

here are some actinic shots - t5s on an IC660. no editing cos i'm too lazy...some top down, some head on. Fungia, cycloseris, diaseris, lithophyllion, herpolitha, halomitra/sandalolitha, and polyphyllia. i want to convert the tank into a lagoon tank with fungias, chalices, duncans, garden eels & curious wormfish eventually.
