Favites are a fuchsia and green coloured LPS coral that has an intermediate care level. Their scientific name is Favites Pentagona. They do not require but will benefit from feedings of coral food (reef roids), and brine shrimp. They have long sweeper polyps that extend during the night that will sting nearby corals, this makes them considered aggressive. Favites should be placed in the lower to middle sections of your tank and should get a low to moderate light and flow setting.
