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 fleshy-polyp form associated with Favia-type brain corals. Its moderate care needs suit reef keepers who can provide stable conditions, deliberate acclimation, and appropriate space 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. Acclimate gradually to its intended intensity, especially when moving it from a different lighting environment.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear of detritus without directing a strong stream onto its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a stable location and allow time to adjust rather than repeatedly moving it or changing light intensity.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample spacing from neighbors. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby corals, so avoid placing sensitive specimens within reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered. Target feeding can be done when feeding tentacles are visible.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp response after acclimation, lighting adjustments, or placement changes, and avoid frequent relocations. Keep surrounding corals spaced appropriately, particularly after lights-out when sweepers may extend.

A stable lower-to-middle placement helps support long-term Favia care.
