Similar in body height to Fungia coral, however, more elongated, hence their name. Sometimes found 'Y' or 'V' shaped, which is caused by regeneration of a damaged area. Normally more 'tongue' shaped. This photosynthetic coral can get quite large, with specimens in the wild attaining three feet (1 m) in length. Does well in closed systems under low light and gentle water movement.
