Species: Favites spp.
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Favites
Description:
ECC Multidimensional Favites is a colorful and visually distinctive LPS coral featuring a textured surface of closely spaced corallites that gives the colony impressive depth and dimension. Its coloration can become especially pronounced under blue and actinic lighting, making it a beautiful addition to mixed reef displays. With stable water parameters and appropriate spacing, this Favites can gradually develop into a substantial colony.
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Favites
Lighting: Moderate – approximately 75–150 PAR
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate – gentle, indirect flow that keeps the coral clean while allowing natural polyp extension
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods can be offered to supplement nutrition and support healthy growth.
Aggression: Semi-Aggressive – Favites may extend sweeper tentacles after dark, so provide adequate clearance from neighboring corals.
Placement: Best positioned on lower to mid-level rockwork or another stable surface where it receives consistent lighting and gentle flow. Allow sufficient space around the colony for nighttime sweeper tentacles.
Quarantine & Biosecurity:
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program designed to protect the health of our coral collection and help reduce the introduction of unwanted pests and pathogens. Each coral is carefully inspected and monitored before being made available, providing an added layer of confidence when introducing new specimens to your reef system.
