Green goblin Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Green goblin Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia-type brain coral is an LPS coral suited to a lower or middle reef position, with moderate care focused on stable conditions, gradual acclimation, and thoughtful spacing 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with a gentler position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt intensity changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue with strong, direct current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and avoid repeatedly moving it or rapidly changing its light exposure.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from nearby corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach neighboring specimens, so leave a clear buffer around it.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Gradual changes to lighting, flow, and placement are preferable to frequent adjustments, especially during acclimation. Keep surrounding corals at a safe distance and watch for nighttime tentacle extension.

A stable location and generous spacing support long-term care.
