Pretty cool coral. Thanks for the pic.

That's really cool. Where did you pick it up?

That is the coolest fungia coral I have ever seen. Could you share with us the size of those plates. They look like they are ranging from 1-2 inches. Very cool!

I bought it off a local reefer who's re-doing his tank. The entire tree is actually very small. Most of the plates around the base are dime-sized. The plates in the first photo are a little larger - about the size of a quarter or slightly bigger.

Thanks for the compliments. I think it's pretty neat!

Very Nice coral melissa, thanks for sharing.

Uhmmm, I wonder how all the bigger plates that we are seeing in the trade are growing like that....

thats awesome! i've got six or seven fungia babies growing out of a piece of lr. the biggest polyps are about 1/8 in extended and the smaller ones are about as big as this asterisk *.

The reefer I got it from told me that it will drop babies occasionally. I think it did drop one in my tank, but the current must have swept it away because I couldn't find it.

Yosh, are you going to leave the babies on the rock together? You should take a photo
