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 offers the classic brain-coral form for a lower or middle reef position. Its moderate care needs center on steady conditions, indirect flow, measured lighting, and adequate 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin on the lower reef and acclimate gradually if increasing intensity, watching for a settled, consistent response before making further changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy tissue; avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with a stable resting position. Acclimate gradually to its location and avoid frequent moves or sudden lighting changes.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighbors. It can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so keep nearby corals beyond its reach and check spacing after lights-out.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, especially when feeding tentacles are visible. Feeding is optional; remove excess food if it is not accepted.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually rather than repeatedly adjusting placement or intensity. Observe tissue response, debris accumulation, and nighttime tentacle extension so flow, spacing, and acclimation can be adjusted carefully.

Allow space, keep conditions steady, and make changes gradually.
