Acid Pools Favia

About this coral

Acid Pools Favia is the shop’s named Favia-group LPS coral. Favia-type corals are stony, tissue-covered corals that form hard colonies, making them a choice for adding a substantial, structured coral to a reef aquarium. The name identifies the offered variety, but does not establish a particular species or specific color traits. The guidance below is general care for Favia-group corals, not a variety-specific care sheet.

Features:

• A stony coral with a hard skeleton and living tissue covering its colony.
• Suitable for reef aquariums where its placement and growth can be accommodated.
• Use moderate lighting as a general starting point; acclimate gradually when changing light exposure.
• Provide gentle to moderate water movement so the coral receives flow without being battered.
• Allow space around the colony: Favia-group corals may extend stinging sweeper tentacles, particularly after dark.
• Meaty marine foods may be offered; feeding is optional and should not leave uneaten food in the aquarium.

Specifications:

• Care level: General Favia-group care; maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral’s response to its placement.
• Temperament: May sting nearby corals with sweeper tentacles; leave room around it.
• Lighting: Moderate, with gradual acclimation to changes.
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate; avoid strong direct flow.
• Placement: A stable position with suitable light and space from neighboring corals; lower or middle areas may be appropriate depending on aquarium lighting.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; may also accept small meaty marine foods.
• General reef parameters: Keep temperature, salinity, pH and alkalinity stable within the reef aquarium’s established range; no variety-specific target is verified.
