Species: Favia sp.
Coral Type: LPS Coral (Large Polyp Stony)
Physical Description: Wolverine Favia is a bold, high-contrast LPS coral known for its dramatic coloration and rugged, brain-like structure. It typically features a dark base ranging from deep charcoal to forest green or brown, punctuated by intense fluorescent centers in neon green, electric yellow, or golden tones. Some specimens also show subtle bluish or teal accents along the corallite ridges, enhancing the “clawed” or streaked visual effect that gives the morph its Wolverine-inspired name. Each polyp is distinctly raised and well-defined, creating a heavily textured surface that becomes even more striking under actinic lighting, where the fluorescent highlights glow intensely against the darker background.
Coral Type: LPS (Large Polyp Stony)
Lighting: Low to Moderate (approximately 50–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate with gentle, indirect flow to support full polyp inflation and prevent tissue stress
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from regular target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped seafood, or specialized LPS coral diets
Aggression: Moderate; capable of extending sweeper tentacles at night and should be given adequate spacing from neighboring corals
Substrate: Best placed on stable rockwork or lower reef structures where it can expand without contact from more delicate species
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
