Favites spp. (Green) Tank-Bred Coral Frag is a stunning addition to any marine reef aquarium. This cultured large polyp stony (LPS) coral features vibrant green hues and a distinctive, robust skeletal structure that adds texture and colour to your reefscape.
Care Level: Favites spp. corals are generally considered moderate in care requirements, making them suitable for hobbyists with some experience in maintaining stable reef conditions.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient and gas exchange.
Placement: Position the frag on a stable rock or frag plug in a location with moderate light and flow. Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions, as Favites spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: While Favites spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthetic symbionts (zooxanthellae), supplemental feeding with small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; growth rates vary depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) to maintain stable water parameters.
This frag is tank-bred and cultured under controlled conditions by DJM, ensuring a healthy specimen acclimatised to captive reef environments. Regular water testing and stable parameters will support its long-term health and growth.
