Favia spp. (Green) | L

Favia spp. (Green) is a captivating large LPS coral known for its vibrant green colouration and distinctive polyp structure. This coral is a popular choice among marine aquarists looking to add texture and colour diversity to their reef aquariums.

Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal to support photosynthesis without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 100-150 are suitable.

Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is preferred to ensure the coral’s polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.

Placement: Position the coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower sections of the tank, allowing adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from supplemental feeding with small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods once or twice weekly.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging interactions with other corals.

Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
