Indo Cultured Favia Colony

About this coral

Indo Cultured Favia Colony is an LPS “favia-type” brain coral colony selected for reef aquarists who want the look of Faviidae-style, fleshy polyps with the convenience of starting from an established colony. In the aquarium trade, “Favia” is often used as a practical group name; general guidance below reflects group-level care for favia-type LPS brain corals rather than a precise, species-specific profile.

Features:

• LPS brain coral appearance with fleshy, expandable polyps that add texture and movement to the reef.
• Generally considered a hardy, adaptable option within the LPS “brain coral” category, suitable for aquarists ready for stable reef conditions.
• Typically responds best to lower-to-moderate light and indirect, gentler water movement that helps tissue remain extended.
• Benefits from reliable routine feeding practices common to many favia-type/coral LPS setups (some may catch/benefit from fine particulate food in addition to targeted feeding).
• Placement is important: keep it away from direct blasts of flow and from close contact with aggressive neighbors.
• Helps round out an LPS collection by adding a distinct growth form and feeding behavior compared with SPS and soft corals.

Specifications:

• Coral category: LPS (favia-type brain coral)
• Care level (general guidance): Moderate
• Light (general guidance): Lower to moderate light; avoid strong direct lighting that can cause stress/decline
• Water flow (general guidance): Indirect, gentle flow that moves detritus without blasting tissue
• Placement (general guidance): Middle to lower areas where light is moderate and flow is gentler
• Temperature: ~26–27°C (78–81°F) (example reef parameter range used for scleractinian coral maintenance) ([floridadep.gov](https://floridadep.gov/sites/default/files/508%20compliance%20-%20DEP%20Y2%20CRP%20Final%20Report.pdf?utm_source=openai))
• Salinity: ~35 ppt (example reef parameter range used for scleractinian coral maintenance) ([floridadep.gov](https://floridadep.gov/sites/default/files/508%20compliance%20-%20DEP%20Y2%20CRP%20Final%20Report.pdf?utm_source=openai))
• pH: ~8.1–8.3 (example reef parameter range used for scleractinian coral maintenance) ([floridadep.gov](https://floridadep.gov/sites/default/files/508%20compliance%20-%20DEP%20Y2%20CRP%20Final%20Report.pdf?utm_source=openai))
• Alkalinity: ~8–11 dKH (8–11 dKH stated as a target range for Favia-type care) ([marineconceptsupply.com](https://www.marineconceptsupply.com/blogs/news/favia-coral-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Calcium: ~400–450 ppm (stated as a target range for Favia-type care) ([marineconceptsupply.com](https://www.marineconceptsupply.com/blogs/news/favia-coral-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Magnesium: ~1250–1350 ppm (stated as a target range for Favia-type care) ([marineconceptsupply.com](https://www.marineconceptsupply.com/blogs/news/favia-coral-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
