Acid Eyes Favia

About this coral

Acid Eyes Favia is the shop’s name for a Favia-type large-polyp stony (LPS) coral. The name identifies a coral group, not a verified species or a documented set of morph-specific traits. As a reef aquarium coral, it can add a fleshy, stony form to a suitable established aquarium. The guidance below is general for Favia-type corals; individual specimens may respond differently to aquarium conditions.

Features:

• A photosynthetic LPS coral that can obtain energy from aquarium lighting; supplemental feeding may also be accepted.
• Provide moderate light as a general starting point, and acclimate gradually when changing the lighting it receives.
• Use gentle to moderate, indirect water movement so the coral is not subjected to a strong, concentrated current.
• Place securely on stable rock and leave space around it; LPS corals may extend feeding or sweeper tentacles, so avoid crowding nearby corals.
• Offer small meaty marine foods if feeding, while avoiding oversized portions that the coral cannot handle.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Favia-type LPS coral; exact species and named-morph traits are not verified.
• Care level: Moderate; general group-level guidance, with stable reef conditions and gradual acclimation recommended.
• Lighting: Moderate as a general starting point; adjust based on the specimen’s response.
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate and indirect; avoid a strong direct current.
• Placement: Secure on stable rock with room around the coral and separation from neighboring corals.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; small meaty marine foods may be offered as supplemental feeding.
• General reef parameters: Common husbandry targets include 24–27 °C, specific gravity 1.023–1.026, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm and magnesium 1,250–1,350 ppm. These are general ranges, not morph-specific measurements.
