Rainbow Fungia
A variant of Plate coral (Fungia sp.)
Representative Plate coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A plate coral showing multiple colors at once — typically a green or red disc with contrasting orange, pink, or purple radial septa and tentacle tips. The multi-tone 'rainbow' effect is what collectors chase.
📜 Backstory
True multi-color 'Rainbow' Fungia are wild collected (mostly Australian and Indonesian) and individually selected — there is no aquacultured lineage, so each is essentially one-of-a-kind. The name is a trade grade used by high-end vendors rather than a named cultivar; because a genuinely multicolored disc is uncommon among thousands of brown imports, verified rainbows fetch several times the price of a standard plate.
Keeper tips for this variant
Sandbed placement, gentle indirect flow, moderate light around 50-100 PAR; feed meaty foods directly to the mouth at night to keep color and mass up.
