Overview
The Bloodfire Mosaic Favites is an ultra-rare, grafted masterpiece that takes Favites coloration to an entirely new level. Its polyps are a deep, saturated blood red—pierced with electric baby blue streaks and halos—while crisp white mouths add a shocking contrast at the core of each corallite. This isn’t just a coral—it’s living art.
Favites are known for their “maze-brain” patterns, but this grafted variety is something special. The unpredictable blending of colors across the colony creates a mosaic-like display that shifts and evolves with growth, lighting, and flow—making each specimen truly one-of-a-kind.
Care & Feeding
The Bloodfire Mosaic Favites thrives with moderate lighting and water flow. While it’s photosynthetic, regular feedings of fine particulate foods like reef roids, rotifers, or micro-mysis can help maintain its dramatic coloration and promote faster growth. Target feed at night when polyps are extended for best results.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
-
Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Position this coral on flat rockwork or stable sandbed space at the bottom to mid-level of your tank. Moderate flow will help keep the surface clean and encourage healthy polyp expansion. Due to its semi-aggressive nature and potential for sweeper tentacles, give it space from more delicate neighbors.
🩸🌊 A Living Mosaic – The Bloodfire Mosaic Favites is a rare fusion of color and contrast, grafted by nature (or nurture) to ignite your reef with shades of crimson, blue, and white. A must-have for elite collectors and coral connoisseurs alike.
