Scorpion King Favia Coral

Scorpion King Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Scorpion King Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral with WYSIWYG selection. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers looking for a Favia-type brain coral with a fleshy-polyp appearance. Its moderate care profile rewards deliberate placement, stable conditions, and 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. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then make changes gradually rather than shifting intensity often.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow it time to settle after introduction, and avoid frequent moves once a suitable location is established.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighbors. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby corals, so avoid close placement even when it appears calm during the day.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed carefully and avoid leaving excess food around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and acclimate gradually to new light and flow. Observe polyp response after placement or adjustments, then make changes slowly instead of repeatedly changing intensity, flow direction, or reef location.

Provide space and steady conditions for reliable long-term care.
