🧬 Overview
The Royal Halo Favites is one of FreakinCorals’ exclusive aquaculture signature corals, developed for collectors who seek perfect balance between colour definition and hardiness.
Its smooth purple matrix gives way to a glowing yellow rim that shines intensely even under low blues — a natural contrast that draws attention instantly. Each piece is grown in-house at FreakinCorals to ensure consistent structure, colour, and long-term stability.
This morph combines the rich saturation of wild Favites with the strength and adaptability of controlled aquaculture.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
While primarily photosynthetic, it thrives with weekly feedings of micro-coral foods such as Reef Roids, Coral Dust, or phytoplankton-based blends.
Supplement trace elements like potassium, manganese, and iodine to maintain the fluorescent halo and crisp tissue definition.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Mount on a flat or slightly sloped surface in moderate light and gentle flow, allowing the rim to glow evenly. Avoid direct strong currents or overly shaded areas to preserve uniform growth and colour gradient.
