Charizard dips astraea Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia-type brain coral suits reef keepers seeking a colorful LPS coral with a defined care profile. Provide measured lighting, indirect circulation, and room from nearby corals to support reliable placement.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin in a less intense area and acclimate gradually before increasing exposure, watching the coral’s response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy tissue; avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Set the coral securely, allow time to acclimate, and avoid repeatedly moving it between locations or changing intensity quickly.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This is an aggressive coral that can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so avoid close placement where it may sting nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, preferably when feeding tentacles are visible, while avoiding excess food accumulation.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue appearance, extension, and response to light and flow after acclimation, then adjust carefully rather than making frequent placement or intensity changes.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighbors.
