{"product_id":"toxic-green-mouth-haliofungia","title":"Toxic Green Mouth Heliofungia","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeliofungia, often called plate coral, disk coral, or mushroom coral, are fascinating free-living LPS corals that add a unique dynamic to a reef aquarium. Unlike many other large polyp stony corals, Heliofungia are not encrusting or attached to rockwork, instead resting on the substrate as a solitary polyp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species typically forms a circular or oval disc. The oral disc of this particular specimen features a striking toxic green mouth, which stands out against its surroundings. This piece measures approximately 10cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeliofungia prefer moderate to high PAR lighting (150-300 PAR) and moderate, indirect water flow. Placing it directly on the sandbed is ideal, ensuring it has enough space to expand its fleshy mantle and is not overshadowed by other corals. While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding of small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or copepods a few times a week is beneficial. Maintain stable water parameters with calcium around 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Ensure ample spacing from other corals as it can extend sweeper tentacles at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeliofungia can be a focal point in a well-established reef, offering visual interest with its unique form and the vivid green colour of its mouth. They are generally peaceful but require careful consideration for placement to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224943333431,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-0LVC","price":200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/8857883d-1344-4649-9c63-4e90b972e1d2-_MG_5190.png?v=1790280990","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/toxic-green-mouth-haliofungia","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
