Optimal Water Parameters
- Temperature: 75–82°F (78°F is ideal)
- Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
- pH: 8.1–8.4
- Alkalinity: 8–11 dKH
- Calcium: 400–450 ppm
- Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
- Nitrate / Phosphate: Keep nitrates under 10 ppm and phosphates under 0.05 ppm to prevent algae overgrowth. Stability is more crucial than chasing exact numbers.
Lighting and Flow Requirements
- Lighting: Keep them at 50–150 PAR (low to medium light). Too much light causes bleaching. Acclimate new pieces in shadier spots if your tank has intense lights.
- Water Flow: Provide a low-to-moderate, indirect flow. High current damages their fleshy tissue and stops them from feeding properly.
Feeding and Placement
- Feeding: Target feed them 2–3 times a week after lights out using small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or micro-plankton. Turn off your wavemakers during feeding so the food stays put.
- Placement & Spacing: Place them on stable rockwork in the lower-to-middle section of the aquarium. Leave 3 to 6 inches of space between them and other corals. Favia possess aggressive nighttime sweeper tentacles that can sting neighboring corals.
