Scorpion king Favia Coral

Scorpion king Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Scorpion king Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia offers the substantial structure associated with LPS brain corals. Its care is best approached with measured lighting, indirect movement, and room to avoid contact with neighboring 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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually if increasing intensity, watching for the coral’s response rather than making abrupt changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the area refreshed without blasting the coral directly or causing persistent tissue disturbance.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow gradual acclimation after introduction, and avoid repeatedly moving it or making sudden changes to light intensity.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from neighbors. It can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so keep nearby corals beyond their reach to prevent stinging.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods may be offered when feeding tentacles are visible, while avoiding excess food accumulation around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make adjustments gradually. Observe tissue response, polyp extension, and nearby coral spacing after changes in placement, flow, or lighting; consistent care is preferable to frequent repositioning or intensity shifts.

Provide steady care and spacing for a well-managed Favia placement.
