Stony mushroom corals

[Krazymuncher]

At my lps I found some stony mushroom corals for sale but I didn't find any info on how to keep them and I was wondering of anyone else had any?

Btw the coral in the pic is from online

That's a plate coral, you'll find much more info with that name

It is a plate coral, that one pictured is formerly known as Fungia, now known as Lobactis. Although a lot that we see called Fungia are actually Cycloseris. Most will do well in lower to medium light and flow, and will benefit from being fed once a week or so. They aren't too difficult to keep happy.

I have a large colony and I keep them on the sand bed with just enough flow to see their tentacles moving. I don’t directly feed mine but rather feed my fish over them so they catch the leftovers (brine, mysis,etc). Very easy to keep.

Sounds right, and yeah as long as they get some food and aren't blasted by too much light they'll do great.

One thing on this species is they're actually a large solitary polyp, not colonial.
