Picked up an orange plate today, I love these guys!

I picked up another tiny plate coral today. I wish I could get the orange color to come out in the pics like it looks in real life! It’s neon orange. One pic is no filter from the top and the other pics are with the orange filter.

I’m guessing this is also a Heliofungia fralinae like my other one. They have very similar features, other than color.

No filter

Orange filter

A gorgeous coral for sure. Great addition!

This is as close as I can get to showing off mine.... they are stunners.

Cycloseris, not Heliofungia. Heliofungia fralinae are the more "rainbow" plate types, with accented septa. H. fralinae also, usually has purple acrospheres, a trait rarely seen in other plates.

Would it be ok next to my H. fralinae or should I keep them apart? They’re about 2” from each other now. Here is my H. fralinae for reference

Would recommend keeping them apart as they are different genera

Would likely be fine. I’ve got 6 in my tank of different species. They are all in the same area and many of them are touching. No issues and they are all over a year old.

I use the orange and yellow Orphek lenses for mine:

Note: I'm running a lot of whites. Under heavy blues they glow a lot more.

Is that what this is?

I'm assuming my orange plate is a Cycloseris.

 

[I never finish anythi]

I do want one of those corals. Beautiful for sure .
