Long Tentacled Plate Coral
Heliofungia actiniformis, commonly known as the Long Tentacle Plate Coral, is a unique LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles that closely resemble an anemone. Found in a variety of striking colors, including shades of green, purple, and brown, this free-living coral adds dynamic movement and texture to any reef aquarium. Unlike many other corals, Heliofungia prefers a sandy substrate where it can rest without obstruction. It requires stable water conditions, moderate lighting, and gentle flow to allow its tentacles to extend fully. While beautiful, it is semi-aggressive and can sting nearby corals, so ample spacing is recommended. Regular feedings of meaty foods like mysis shrimp or plankton will help maintain its health and vibrant appearance. With proper care, Heliofungia actiniformis is a captivating centerpiece that brings a lively, natural feel to any reef environment.
