Favia spp. (Green) | T

Favia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking green coloration and distinctive, rounded corallites. This tiny tank-bred specimen is perfect for hobbyists seeking to add texture and vibrant colour to their reef aquariums.

Care Level: Moderate. Favia spp. corals are generally hardy but benefit from stable water parameters and consistent care.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels will support healthy growth without causing bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.

Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork with enough space to accommodate its fleshy polyps. Ensure it is not placed too close to aggressive neighbours to avoid stinging or overgrowth.

Diet: While Favia spp. corals derive much of their nutrition from photosynthetic symbionts (zooxanthellae), they also benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist peacefully with many reef inhabitants but requires space to prevent aggression.

Additional Notes: As a tank-bred coral, this specimen is acclimated to aquarium conditions, promoting better adaptation and growth. Regular monitoring of water quality and parameters will ensure long-term health.
