Fungi coral

[billstanks]

I have had these 2 for about 5 years now , moved across the country a few years ago with them in a cooler .
About 6in across .
Will they ever split ?
Don’t ask about parameters as I don’t know and never have checked .
Just complete weekly water changes about 10%

They don’t split on their own as far as I know. They can be fragged but take a long time to regain shape. They’re known to spawn babies when they die. I’m sure others here will share their experiences

I’ve also heard they spawn when they die…. Not sure I ca count on that and would probably just have a dead one !

I have read online that some folk have flipped them over. Apparently it stresses or kills the coral in a way that forces baby plates to to grow, there is info online about this.

In captivity no, but in the wild some genera can get broken up by strong wave action and regenerate, sometimes creating large fields or aggregations. Yours looks like a true Fungia, which do undergo this. Whether you should start splitting them, IDK; there is possibility of infection if you do.

As far as budding anthocauli goes, I believe this is only consistently done with Heliofungia fralinae, which this is not.
