Despite often being grouped with Favias in the aquarium trade, the coral commonly sold as War Coral is generally from the genus \u003cem\u003eFavites\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a relatively hardy LPS once established and gradually encrusts across the rock beneath it. War Corals can develop into impressive colonies and their contrasting corallites fluoresce particularly strongly under blue-spectrum reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFavites\u003c\/em\u003e sp.

War Corals are photosynthetic but readily capture small meaty foods and suitable coral foods. Occasional target feeding when the feeding tentacles are extended can support growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The name \"War Coral\" is quite appropriate when it comes to its neighbours. \u003cem\u003eFavites\u003c\/em\u003e can extend sweeper tentacles after dark and deliver a strong sting, so leave a reasonable gap around the colony. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium will support healthy skeletal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627172847952,"sku":"THRC-0006","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/war-coral-47","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
