Poison Dart Frog Favia Coral

Poison Dart Frog Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Poison Dart Frog Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia has the care needs of an LPS coral, with lower-to-middle placement, indirect flow, and spacing worth planning before adding it to a mixed reef.

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. Start at lower intensity and acclimate gradually, avoiding abrupt increases or frequent changes in light exposure.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow and avoid strong direct flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it to pursue a different light level.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. It can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so keep nearby specimens beyond their reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Offer occasional small meaty foods when feeding tentacles are visible, while maintaining stable overall conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make adjustments gradually. Observe tissue response, tentacle extension, and nearby coral interactions after changes in lighting, flow, or placement rather than changing several conditions at once. Consistent placement is preferable to frequent relocation.

Plan spacing carefully and allow stable conditions to guide ongoing care.
