Favia corals are a long-time favourite in the reef-keeping hobby thanks to their toughness, manageable growth, and attractive patterned polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"297\" data-end=\"585\"\u003eThis variety features a deep red base with contrasting teal oral discs, giving it a sharp colour separation that looks excellent under reef lighting. As it grows, the coral slowly spreads over the rockwork, creating a bumpy, textured surface that adds a natural reef look to the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"885\"\u003eFavia are a great choice for mixed reef tanks, LPS gardens, and reef keepers wanting a reliable coral that can handle standard stable reef conditions. They are generally straightforward to care for, but they do need space from other corals due to their ability to extend sweeper tentacles at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"923\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"923\"\u003eWhy Choose a Red and Teal Favia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xfls01\" data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"957\"\u003eHardy and reliable LPS coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5vv2pq\" data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eDeep red base with contrasting teal centres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hnn8rz\" data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eGreat colour separation under reef lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1umlz84\" data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eAdds texture and structure to rockwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"izmgv8\" data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1146\"\u003eSuitable for mixed reef tanks and LPS gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"p3fhtq\" data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003eExcellent option for reef keepers wanting a manageable feature coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eRed and Teal Favia prefer low to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 75–150 being suitable for most reef aquariums. Placement in the lower to middle sections of the tank is usually best, depending on your lighting strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eWater flow should be moderate and indirect. The coral needs enough movement to prevent debris from settling on its surface, but not so much that the fleshy polyp tissue is blasted or irritated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1926\"\u003eFavia corals are photosynthetic, but they benefit from regular feeding. Offer small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, chopped prawn, or suitable LPS coral foods once or twice a week to support growth, colour, and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003eRecommended Water Parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2101\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rl62wm\" data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"1986\"\u003eCalcium: 420–440 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"e6d0lr\" data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2010\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–9 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"93gjyh\" data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2039\"\u003eMagnesium: 1300–1400 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nlgg3d\" data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2071\"\u003eNitrate: low but detectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nh28h0\" data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2101\"\u003ePhosphate: low but stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003ePlacement \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2321\"\u003eFavia can extend sweeper tentacles at night and may sting nearby corals.
