Dragon Slayer Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon Slayer Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia coral has fleshy polyps and glowing centers, giving it a distinct appearance among LPS coral frags. Its care is best approached with steady conditions, measured placement, and room from nearby 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin under gentler intensity, then acclimate gradually if moving it brighter to help avoid abrupt changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps. Avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Let the coral settle in one location and make gradual adjustments rather than frequently changing placement or light intensity.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from neighbors. It can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so keep nearby corals beyond their reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered when its feeding tentacles are visible.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after introducing or relocating the frag. Gradual acclimation to lighting and flow is preferable to sudden changes, and consistent spacing helps prevent contact with surrounding corals.

Allow space, avoid direct flow, and adjust conditions gradually.
