🧬 Overview
The Favia “Dragon Soul” is a high-impact LPS coral known for its intense colour contrast and bold polyp definition. Each corallite acts like a glowing “eye,” creating a powerful visual pattern across the colony.
Under blue spectrum lighting, the coral becomes a true centrepiece, with its neon cores igniting against the warm orange base. Its encrusting growth pattern allows it to spread across rock surfaces, gradually increasing density and visual intensity over time.
Hardy and adaptable, this coral is suitable for a wide range of reef systems while still delivering collector-grade aesthetics.
✂️ Cut to Order – Shop Propagated
This coral is offered as Cut to Order, meaning your frag will be freshly cut from our healthy, established mother colony after your order is placed.
The photographs represent the mother colony from which your frag will be taken. Each piece will display the characteristic Dragon Soul colouration, although the exact shape, size and number of corallites may vary.
As each frag is freshly prepared, additional healing time may be required before shipping to ensure the coral is in suitable condition for transport.
Selected for:
• Intense orange/golden base coloration
• Ultra-bright neon yellow and green centres
• Strong contrast and pattern definition
• Healthy, established mother colony
• Shop-propagated specimen
• Exceptional fluorescence under actinic lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Favia corals benefit from both photosynthesis and occasional direct feeding.
Recommended feeding occasionally:
• Mysis shrimp or finely chopped foods
• LPS pellets
• Target feeding after lights out for optimal response

| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |

Place in lower to mid zones with gentle to moderate flow. Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals due to potential sweeper tentacles, especially at night.
Freshly cut specimens should initially be placed under lower lighting and gradually acclimated to their final position.
