Favia spp. (Red) – Premium Small LPS Coral is a striking addition to any marine reef aquarium, prized for its vibrant red hues and robust skeletal structure. As a member of the Faviidae family, this coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral that offers both aesthetic appeal and relative ease of care.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for this coral. It thrives under LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum without excessive intensity, helping to maintain its vivid red coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is recommended to ensure adequate nutrient delivery and waste removal without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents that may stress the coral polyps.
Placement: Position the coral on stable rockwork with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or stinging from neighbouring corals. This species benefits from placement in mid to lower regions of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are stable.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Reef safe with adequate spacing. It may exhibit territorial behaviour typical of Faviidae corals, so ensure neighbours are placed at a respectful distance.
Origin and Size: Origin not provided. This listing is for a small-sized specimen, ideal for reef tanks where space is a consideration.
