🧬 Overview
The Family Adams Favites is a top-tier, tank-grown bicolour coral known for its rich pigmentation and pronounced skeletal architecture. Propagated directly from our established in-store colony, each frag offers:
-
reliable colour retention
-
strong feeding response
-
fast encrusting and wall expansion
-
aquarium-adapted resilience compared to wild imports
The pink centre / purple wall contrast becomes more vivid over time, especially under stable lighting and nutrient conditions.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Favites benefit greatly from regular feeding. Offer small meaty foods (reef pellets, minced frozen, powdered coral foods) 1–2× per week to enhance growth and deep pink saturation. Maintain stable alkalinity and avoid excessive flow directly on the polyps.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in moderate light and indirect flow. Leave space around the frag, as Favites extend short sweepers at night. They encrust steadily and form raised, colourful corallite walls as they grow.
