I really like the first picture. Never been too much of a Heliofungia fan though since they dont acclimate or survive very well in captivity. Dont know many people who've had one too long.

So they are okay being close together like Viper has them? Some are even overlapping and they don't mind? Cause that means I have room for more!

The cycloseris and fungias can fraternize without stinging each other but if they overlap each other for too long they can still locally bleach out.

So it sounds like they can kiss but not hug! Hugs can lead to adverse consequences but only in the hugging spot ... Cool -- I am looking for more!

Mr294, that is a really nice yellow and pink Halomitra you got there. Those things can grow huge so make sure to give it plenty of room.
I am joetbs's place so I hope to post some additional shots of what he posted in the next couple of days.

Awesome pics everyone!
Fungi'ds are my alltime favorite coral. This is because one of the first corals I owned was a fungia. It grew to the size of a small dinner plate, and spawned every fall in my tank. That thing was like a pet to me. I keep several now, but none that I would call rare or spectacular: Here is my baby. He popped off of a friend's anthocaulli, and was the size of a dime when I got him... So tiny, I kept him in a teacup on the sandbed for a while since the current would blow him around. He is 4" now: Then I picked this guy up from a MO site, but I haven't seen the green spread much like Coralite's(I took that pic of his, that coral was even more amazing in person). I think my lighting is too intense. I think lower lighting stimulates the green pigments more. This coral is still neat to me, since an injury in the distant past seems to have caused it to have multiple mouths. pic from store I purchased it at: Then, here's my halomitra. Not the prettiest, but neat to me for it's unusual nature. I plan on moving this year, and reducing my coral numbers. This guy will get a much large space to grow, when I thin the herd. I would like to grow him out as much as I can, and they get quite big: And then, there's what I *think* is a Diaseris(Jake?). This is a very old pic of it in my old tank. Note the little fungia is an older pic of the Fungia above: I'm still on the hunt for a blue fungia, and a red one. Still need a litho' for my collection too.

A question regarding compatiabilty:
Someone had said above in this thread that fungia can touch each other without stinging, and that the only real issue is shading/abrading each other. Does this hold true for all fungiids? Specifically, if I move my orange Cycloseris next to my Heliofungia, will they sting each other? I fear maybe Heliofungia is too distantly related to other fungiids to not sting them. Are my fears unfounded? I would like to put them next to each other, but am reluctant to allow them to hurt each other, if they would. Does anybody have any experience with this? |

Nice fungias! What is a avg price on a red plate?

Nice pic of the Halomitra. Question though: How does it hold up next to the E. ancora & that Gonipora? Pretty aggressive all 3 corals, do you ever have any problems?

Well, I broke down & bought the orange Fungia I mentioned a couple of days ago. Wish me luck!
