Dragon Slayer Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon Slayer Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral with moderate LPS care requirements. This colorful Favia coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide measured placement, indirect water movement, and consistent conditions. Its textured appearance and glowing centers make it a distinct choice for a lower or middle reef area.

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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and avoid abrupt lighting changes, especially after placement.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a strong stream at its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area. Give it time to adjust after introduction rather than repeatedly moving it between locations or intensities.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This Favia-type brain coral is aggressive and may extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles that can reach nearby specimens.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe its response after any adjustment. Gradual acclimation to light, flow, and placement is preferable to frequent changes, which can make it harder to assess what the coral prefers.

Give this coral stable placement, indirect flow, and room from neighbors.
