Conflict Diamonds favia Coral

Conflict Diamonds favia Coral - Care Requirements

Conflict Diamonds favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral offered as a WYSIWYG selection. This Favia coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care and steady conditions. Plan its location carefully, as its lighting, flow, placement, and spacing needs are important for long-term care.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to the chosen intensity. Avoid abrupt lighting changes, especially after introducing the coral to a new reef.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that moves water around the coral without blasting it directly. Avoid strong direct flow, which can be unsuitable for this fleshy LPS type.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas where low to moderate lighting and indirect flow are available. Allow time to acclimate before changing its position or intensity.

Temperament

Leave generous space from neighboring corals because this Favia-type brain coral is aggressive. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby specimens, so avoid close placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding can be done carefully when feeding tentacles are visible.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually rather than frequently moving the coral or altering light intensity. Observe tissue response, tentacle extension, and nearby coral spacing, then adjust placement only when needed.

A stable lower-to-middle placement helps simplify ongoing care.
