Dragon Soul Favia

About this coral

Dragon Soul Favia is an LPS coral commonly sold under the name “favia” (brain coral style). In practical reef-keeping, it’s used for its classic bumpy, brain-like texture and typically benefits from stable aquarium conditions so it can rely on its symbiotic photosynthesis while also taking occasional supplemental food. Because “Dragon Soul” is likely a seller-named variety within the favia group rather than a separately verified species, this listing should be treated as group-level guidance for favia-type LPS.

Features:

• LPS (large-polyp stony) coral with a brain/cerebriform form that adds texture to the reef
• Generally considered hardy among many LPS, making it a useful option for building experience with coral feeding and placement
• Usually thrives when light and flow are kept moderate and consistent rather than frequently changed
• Often benefits from occasional target feeding of suitable meaty foods in addition to photosynthesis
• Helps fill the lower to mid-aquascape with a hardy, display-focused coral presence
• Like many LPS, it can be sensitive to major parameter swings, so stability is key
