Pink Elephant Favia Coral

Pink Elephant Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Pink Elephant Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers who can provide measured placement, stable conditions, and room around its edges. Its care centers on low to moderate light, indirect movement, and patient acclimation.

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 in gentler light and acclimate gradually before increasing intensity, avoiding abrupt changes that can stress the coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to settle after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it or making sudden lighting changes.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered when tentacles are visible. Avoid overfeeding and remove uneaten food if needed.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral regularly for its response to light, flow, and nearby neighbors. Gradual acclimation is preferable to frequent changes in placement or intensity, especially while it settles into the reef.

Provide steady care and ample space for long-term placement.
