U235 Favia Coral

U235 Favia Coral - Care Requirements

U235 Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG Favia-type brain coral is an LPS coral suited to aquariums where stable conditions, measured lighting, and thoughtful spacing can be maintained. Its care approach centers on gradual acclimation rather than frequent changes.

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 conservatively and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes in intensity, especially after introducing the coral to the reef.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow that keeps water moving around the coral without blasting its tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it or making sudden lighting changes.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can extend beyond its base, so maintain separation to reduce stinging risk.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, particularly when feeding tentacles are visible. Feeding is optional; avoid overfeeding and keep portions appropriately small.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make adjustments gradually. Observe tissue response, extension, and nearby corals after changes to flow, lighting, or placement. Consistency is preferable to frequent repositioning or abrupt shifts in intensity.

Allow space, keep flow indirect, and make changes gradually.
