Dragon Soul Favia Coral (Favia sp.)
Description:
The Dragon Soul Favia Coral is one of the most striking and sought-after LPS corals in the reef hobby. It features intense, glowing colouration, typically a deep emerald or teal base with fiery orange to gold mouths and contrasting neon highlights. Under blue or actinic lighting, the Dragon Soul Favia truly comes alive, radiating vivid fluorescence that transforms your aquarium into a display of colour and depth.
With its hardy nature and distinctive, maze-like skeletal pattern, this coral makes an excellent choice for both collectors and hobbyists seeking a resilient yet eye-catching addition to their reef. Each piece is sustainably sourced or aquacultured to ensure long-term success and adaptability in home systems.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive (can extend sweeper tentacles at night)
Placement: Mid to lower areas of the tank, leaving space between neighboring corals.

Feeding & Nutrition:
The Dragon Soul Favia hosts symbiotic zooxanthellae, providing much of its energy through photosynthesis. However, regular target feeding with small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral-specific micro foods 1–2 times per week encourages faster growth and intensified coloration.
Notes:
-
Allow space between the Favia and nearby corals to prevent stinging.
-
Prefers moderate lighting and low-to-moderate, indirect flow.
-
Maintain stable parameters for consistent polyp extension and vivid colour.
-
An excellent, hardy coral for both mixed and dedicated LPS systems.
