WYSIWYG*
Favias are a type of brain coral and are a relatively easy, encrusting coral to grow, preferring low to moderate lighting (150-200 PAR) with moderate flow. Be sure to give this coral a few inches of space from others as it can send out sweeper tentacles at night to feed. This is an aquacultured piece.
