Notes: The Red & Green Favia Brain Coral glows beautifully under actinic lighting. It requires moderate water currents and moderate to high reef lighting for proper health. It is important that proper calcium and alkalinity levels are maintained. Use of Kalkwasser Mix or a calcium reactor will be of great benefit.
Place the Favia Brain Coral on an exposed rock along the top half of the aquarium where currents will be able to supply it with necessary nutrients and trace elements. It has sweeper tentacles that come out in the evening and at night so leave several inches between it and other corals.
Supplement its diet with the addition of trace elements, marine snow, phytoplankton, and food for filter feeders. If you feed it in the evening when its sweeper tentacles are out it will catch and eat brine shrimp as well.
