Scorpion King Favia Coral

Scorpion King Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Scorpion King Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral with a moderate care level. This WYSIWYG Favia coral is suited to reef keepers who can provide steady conditions, gentle acclimation, and room around the frag for its nighttime feeding tentacles.

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. Start with reduced intensity during acclimation, then make gradual adjustments rather than moving the coral repeatedly.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy tissue or causing constant retraction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to settle after introduction, and acclimate gradually to its final light and flow.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, especially when feeding tentacles are visible, but supplemental feeding is optional.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe tissue response after any change. Gradual acclimation is preferable to frequent shifts in placement, lighting, or flow, and clear space helps prevent contact with neighboring corals.

Keep conditions steady and give this Favia room to extend after dark.
