Yellow Submarine Favia Coral

Yellow Submarine Favia Coral - Care Requirements

Yellow Submarine Favia Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Favia offers the substantial texture associated with Favia-type brain corals and is suited to a thoughtfully maintained reef aquarium. Its moderate care needs make stable conditions and deliberate placement especially important.

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 adjust gradually rather than making abrupt changes in intensity.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Acclimate gradually and avoid repeatedly moving it between locations or light levels.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This aggressive LPS coral can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so avoid placing susceptible corals within reach.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, particularly when feeding tentacles are visible. Supplemental feeding is optional rather than a required daily routine.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes in tissue expansion or response to flow and light. Gradual acclimation is preferable to frequent placement changes, sudden intensity shifts, or strong current directed at the coral.

Give it stable placement, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
