Dragon Soul Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon Soul Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia frag offers the distinct appearance of a Dragon Soul morph in a colorful LPS coral suited to a thoughtfully maintained reef aquarium. Its care centers on measured lighting, indirect flow, 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it from a lower-light position or changing fixtures.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps the coral clear without blasting its tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable polyp extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Let it settle after placement, and make lighting or location adjustments gradually rather than moving it frequently.

Temperament

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

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe tissue response, polyp extension, and nearby coral spacing. Gradual acclimation is preferable to sudden shifts in lighting, flow, or placement, and avoiding frequent changes helps this coral settle into its chosen area.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate nighttime clearance.
