Description

Favia of the gods has  vibrant baby blue eyes with shades of purple, bright yellow edges and red lines to separate each corallite. This is a for sure winner in your favia collection.

Favia corals can be one of the more non aggressive of the LPS corals. Although they do have sweeper tentacles and can sting corals so take caution when placing them. Favias will grow encrusting the rock around so leave plenty of space for favias to grow out. For fast growing species, place small pieces of rubble rock around them to grow onto as a way to prune them back.

Dosing: Doc highly recommends automated dosing of Ca, Kh and other elements to provide ultimate stable water chemistry throughout the day. It is important there are no fluctuations especially with Kh/alkalinity. For more information on dosing and products click here. 

Placement recommendations: There are a few good areas to place these corals. Try an area like and edge in front so the coral can encrust onto the reef. Keep a safe distance from other corals so it does not harm or get harmed by other corals. This coral is good to grow in vertical areas where others cannot. Another great location is on an island on the sand up close to the glass for optimal viewing. It will never grow outwards into the glass. 

Attachment: We like to clip off the exposed disk areas. Add a small amount of coral glue to the underside of the disk. Mix up enough two part epoxy to create a small mound and dab it a few times into the glue to get it tacky then press and mold a conical shape. Add a few small daps to the tip of the cone dabbing the glue so it really sticks to the epoxy. Press the coral disk onto the desired location and press the epoxy flat around the disk. Be sure the coral is fully secure, the coral should never fall off the reef.
