I’ve been told this is a Heliofungia fralinae. Either way, I love this guy. It eats like a pig! Here it is all plumped up full of Reef Roids. It’s about the size of a silver dollar.

If anyone knows how to make this frag, dm me. I lost contact with the parent owner but he told me the parent plate is 6+ “ and forms buds on its own, and he collects the buds and grows them to 3/4” then sells them. This started as 3/4” and now is approx 3, I would love to know if there is any way to trigger this “budding” and I can’t find any info other than a survival tactic if it’s dying. But clearly that’s not the case cause the parent owner says it happens frequently and his is healthy

It looks like it's on fire with the orange tentacles. I call it the Fuego Verde Plate Coral.

I have recently become very interested in plate coral. Here is my first one! Pictures don’t do it justice. The coral is super bright and colorful under both daylight spectrum and blues.

That's a stunner! I love plates, too. Here is my TSA greenie, grown from a tiny pizza slice:
