Coral Spotlight | Favia
Common names: moon coral, brain coral
Difficulty Level:Sensitivity depends a bit on the species, but most are quite tolerant, forgiving and easy to care for. Feeding: Most species have fairly good prey capture abilities,*and will even accept pellets placed directly on their mouths. Growth may accelerate if fed regularly. Lighting (Level 4 to 7): Favias will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most hard corals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Moderate to strong flow. Placement: Favias will encrust over rocks, so it is usually best to place them on a hard surface. Some species have long sweeper tentacles, so leave space between them and other corals to prevent fighting. General: This is a huge group of corals with a lot of different care requirements, so be sure to research further on your specific specimen Photos watermarked with commercial sites are not allowed on Reef Central. I've removed a couple of images. Images with your personal name are fine. Thank you. BrianD Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Last edited by BrianD; 05/07/2019 at 07:23 AM. |

I'm really digging the red rims on this specimen. It really pops under blue LED!

Found a nice splash paint variation for you this morning. Favia colors and patterns never end.
