About this item

Favia Coral

Note: This is a general description of the species — the specific specimen you receive may vary in color, size, and appearance.

The Favia Coral (Favia sp.) is one of the most colorful, endlessly variable, and rewarding LPS corals in the entire saltwater hobby. Tightly packed polyps sit shoulder-to-shoulder on a shared skeleton, glowing across an extraordinary range of colors — vivid green, blood red, electric orange, blue, gold, purple, and countless multi-tone morphs — creating a mesmerizing "field of eyes" display that no other coral family in the hobby quite matches. Every Favia is unique, with its own signature color combination and polyp pattern, and the sheer visual diversity across the species makes it one of the most collectible LPS families in the reef trade.

What makes the Favia Coral one of the most rewarding LPS additions to any reef is the combination of dramatic color, encrusting growth, and beginner-friendly hardiness. Favias grow by encrusting the skeleton edge, gradually adding new polyps and expanding across the frag over time — a single 2 to 3 polyp piece can develop into a full colony of a dozen or more polyps over months and years under stable conditions. Hardy, adaptable, and forgiving of typical reef parameters, Favia is one of the best all-around LPS corals for reefers looking to add saturated, jewel-tone color without commitment to demanding care. Favia's dramatic feeding response — visible tentacles emerge at night to catch food — is one of the most rewarding behaviors to watch in the entire LPS category.

Available Options

Full Starter Plant

One Favia Coral frag with 2 to 3 polyps — exact color selected from current availability. Tightly packed polyps with full open expression and jewel-tone coloration. Encrusting LPS that grows into a full colony of daughter polyps over time. Extends visible feeding tentacles at night — dramatic and rewarding to watch.

Care Information

Lighting	Low to Moderate (PAR 75–150)
Water Flow	Low to Moderate — gentle, indirect flow preferred
Placement	Mid to lower rockwork or sandbed
Care Level	Easy — beginner-friendly LPS
Temperament	Semi-aggressive — extends sweeper tentacles at night, provide 3-4" spacing
Feeding	Photosynthetic — extends feeding tentacles at night, benefits from target feeding

Special Considerations

Favia Corals extend sweeper tentacles at night that can sting neighboring corals — provide 3 to 4 inches of spacing from other coral species in all directions. Favia extends visible feeding tentacles at night to catch food; target feeding with mysis, small pieces of shrimp, or coral feeding preparations 1 to 2 times per week dramatically accelerates growth and enhances color saturation. Avoid direct, high-velocity flow which can prevent full polyp expansion. Favia color expression benefits from quality reef lighting with strong blue spectrum coverage — under-lit specimens may appear more muted, while properly lit specimens display full saturated color. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth and consistent coloration. Favia is one of the hardiest LPS corals in the hobby and forgives typical parameter fluctuations, making it an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate reefers building a color-focused LPS collection.
