Yellow Submarine Favia Coral

Yellow Submarine Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Yellow Submarine Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG Favia offers a practical choice for reef keepers seeking a large-polyp stony coral suited to measured placement, stable conditions, and attentive spacing 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear of debris without blasting its fleshy tissue with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its position and avoid frequent moves or sudden increases in light intensity.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding after lights dim may align with visible feeding-tentacle activity.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for tissue response, debris accumulation, and nighttime tentacle extension, adjusting flow or spacing gradually rather than repeatedly relocating the coral.

Give this coral room, indirect flow, and time to settle in.
