Favia spp. (Premium) Tiny are stunning large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their vibrant colours and distinctive brain-like patterns. These Tank-Bred specimens offer enhanced acclimation and resilience, making them an excellent choice for both intermediate and experienced marine aquarists.
Care Level: Moderate – Favia spp. require stable water parameters and consistent care but are generally hardy once established.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems providing PAR levels between 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral healthy without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position Favia spp. on rockwork with enough space to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals, as they possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent specimens. Lower to mid-level placement in the aquarium is preferred.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Favia spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Origin: Not Provided – Tank-Bred specimens sourced for improved sustainability.
Maximum Size: Not Provided – growth varies depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
Regular monitoring of water quality, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is essential for optimal skeletal growth. Maintain stable temperature (24-26°C) and salinity (1.023-1.025 SG) for best results.
