Dragon Soul Favia Coral - Care Requirements
Dragon Soul Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia coral is an LPS option for reef aquariums, with a fleshy-polyp form that suits a thoughtfully spaced lower or middle reef placement.
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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually if increasing intensity, watching the coral’s response rather than making abrupt changes.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect water flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate its fleshy polyps; gentle movement that keeps debris from settling is preferable.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and avoid repeatedly moving it or changing its light exposure.
Temperament
Give this aggressive coral ample space from neighboring corals. Favia-type brain corals can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so leave room around the specimen to prevent stinging.
Feeding
Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, especially when feeding tentacles are visible, while avoiding excess food accumulation.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Observe polyp condition, tissue response, and nearby corals after placement, flow changes, or lighting adjustments rather than frequently changing its location.
Provide stable care, indirect flow, and enough spacing for long-term placement.
