Dragon Slayer Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon Slayer Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral for reef aquariums. This LPS coral is offered as a Favia coral frag with vibrant coloration and glowing centers. Its moderate care profile suits reef keepers prepared to provide stable conditions, thoughtful placement, and room from neighboring corals.

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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially after placement, and observe the coral’s response before making further lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate this fleshy LPS coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow gradual acclimation after introduction and avoid frequently moving it between locations or changing its light exposure abruptly.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from neighbors. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby corals, so maintain separation and monitor surrounding placement after lights out.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding may be used as part of a consistent husbandry routine.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually rather than frequently adjusting placement, lighting, or flow. Observe tissue condition, polyp behavior, and nearby coral spacing, then correct environmental issues slowly instead of making abrupt changes.

Stable placement, indirect flow, and generous spacing support long-term care.
