Favia corals are Large Polyp Stony (LPS) corals characterized by their “honeycomb” skeletal structure where each polyp shares a common wall. They are favored for their geometric patterns and intense fluorescence. Yellow varieties are especially prized for providing a bright, warm contrast against the more common greens and blues found in reef tanks.
Coloration: Bright lemon or golden yellow centers with darker red contrasting walls
Size: 1–2 inch frag (roughly 4–6 polyps)
Lighting: Low to medium
placement (PAR 100–150)
Water flow: Medium flow (to keep the “valleys” clear of detritus)
Feeding: Target feed mysis or LPS pellets weekly
Aggressiveness: Semi-aggressive (extends sweeper tentacles at night)
Care Level: Easy
