#hardcorals

#favia Difficulty Level:Sensitivity depends a bit on the species, but most are quite tolerant, forgiving and easy to care for. Feeding: Most species have fairly good prey capture abilities, and will even accept pellets placed directly on their mouths. Growth may accelerate if fed regularly. Lighting (Level 4 to 7): Favias will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most #hardcorals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Moderate to strong flow. Placement: #Favias will encrust over rocks, so it is usually best to place them on a hard surface. Some species have long sweeper tentacles, so leave space between them and other #corals to prevent fighting. General: This is a huge group of corals with a lot of different care requirements, so be sure to research further on your specific specimen https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/favia/ #LPScoral #coralmacro #coralreefs #reefgeek #allmymoneygoestocoral #coralfrags #braincoral #elitereef #oceanconservation #reefaquarium #reeflife #coralreeftank #reefporn #aquariums #frags #reefaquarium https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt01jqBHSiu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14jxnq6ir4iwt

#favites Common names: #mooncoral, #braincoral Difficulty Level:Sensitivity depends a bit on the species, but most are quite tolerant, forgiving and easy to care for. Feeding: Most species have fairly good prey capture abilities, but should be fed after lights out when their tentacles are out. Lighting (Level 4 to 7): Favites will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most #hardcorals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Moderate to strong flow.

Common names: #pagodacupcoral, turban coral, vase coral Difficulty Level: #Turbinaria are generally very tolerant to most conditions. Feeding: These #corals have very good prey capture ability with their medium sized, quick moving polyps. Meaty foods of most sizes are acceptable food for them. Lighting (Level 4 to 8): Turbinaria will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most #hardcorals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Higher flow should be provided to keep the horizontal flat surfaces of these corals clean. Placement: Turbinaria are not overly aggressive corals. They may be placed on their side in some cases to keep debris from being caught in the cup. Lower light will yield a flatter cup; higher light will yield a more closed cup https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/turbinaria/ #LPScoral #reeftanks #reefmacro #underwaterphotography #macronature #coralreefs #reefscape #nanoaquarium https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRwz6dBJRg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qoqxqhy39zm
