Ghost Favia

Overview:

The Ghost Favia is a captivating aquacultured Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral known for its robust nature and unique color patterns. Ideal for both beginner and experienced reef keepers, this coral adds a striking visual appeal and enhances biodiversity in your reef aquarium.

Colorization:

This coral features a ghostly blend of pale green and soft lavender hues, creating an ethereal glow that stands out under moderate to high lighting conditions. Its subtle color transitions add depth and contrast to your reefscape.

Size:

Typically, mature specimens grow to around 3-5 inches in diameter, forming compact colonies that fit well in most reef tanks without overwhelming surrounding corals. Sold as a frag on a 0.5 – 1 inch frag plug.

Lighting:

Prefers moderate lighting ranging from 50 to 150 PAR. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting setups work well, allowing the coral’s color to flourish without causing stress.

Water Flow:

Thrives under moderate water flow, which helps deliver nutrients and remove waste. Avoid strong direct currents that may damage its delicate polyps.

Feeding:

While it hosts symbiotic zooxanthellae for photosynthesis, supplemental feeding with small meaty foods like brine shrimp or coral-specific feeds promotes faster growth and vibrant coloration.

Aggressiveness:

Generally peaceful but can extend sweeper tentacles at night to defend territory. Maintain adequate spacing from sensitive neighbors to prevent conflicts.

Care Level:

Low to moderate care requirements make the Ghost Favia an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking an eye-catching yet manageable LPS coral.
