#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. Placement: Favites 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/favites/ #elitereef #LPSreef #coralreefs #reefgeek #coralreeftank #reefporn #allmymoneygoestocoral #coralfrags #crazycorals https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoInmbB51O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o4nwmxci4r5p

#micromussa #lordhowensis Common names: #mooncoral, #acan Difficulty Level: Most micros are fairly easy to keep. Feeding: Micromussa are extremely aggressive eaters with very capable tentacles. They will easily catch and consume most food types including frozen, liquid and even pellets. Take care as their feeding aggression can sometimes be taken out on neighboring #corals. Lighting: Micros 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. Waterflow: Micromussa can adapt to most flow condition. Placement: Micros are very aggressive, so be careful to give them plenty of space. General: Micromussa can take a long period to settle in and fully inflate. Be patient and give them time before moving them to a new placement. https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/acanthastrea/ #elitereef #braincoral #LPScoral #reeftanks #coralporn #corals#reeftank #reeftank #coralreefs #aquariumfans #fishtank #saltwateraquarium https://www.instagram.com/p/BqB3hpMHyPt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a0jd6n3v2dig
