#favias

#favia Difficulty Level:Sensitivity depends a bit on the species, but most are quite tolerant, forgiving and easy to care for. Feeding: Most species have fairly good prey capture abilities, and will even accept pellets placed directly on their mouths. Growth may accelerate if fed regularly. Lighting (Level 4 to 7): Favias will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most #hardcorals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Moderate to strong flow. Placement: #Favias will encrust over rocks, so it is usually best to place them on a hard surface. Some species have long sweeper tentacles, so leave space between them and other #corals to prevent fighting. General: This is a huge group of corals with a lot of different care requirements, so be sure to research further on your specific specimen https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/favia/ #LPScoral #coralmacro #coralreefs #reefgeek #allmymoneygoestocoral #coralfrags #braincoral #elitereef #oceanconservation #reefaquarium #reeflife #coralreeftank #reefporn #aquariums #frags #reefaquarium https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt01jqBHSiu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14jxnq6ir4iwt
