Watermelon Favia (Favites sp.)
The Watermelon Favia is a vibrant LPS coral featuring a bright fluorescent green base contrasted by raised corallites displaying deep red to orange centres surrounded by darker outer rings. The striking colour combination creates the classic “watermelon” appearance that has made this style of coral a long-standing reef favourite.
Why We Like It
The combination of glowing green tissue and rich red-orange corallites creates exceptional contrast without appearing overly busy. The raised growth pattern adds texture and depth, while the repeating colour pattern becomes increasingly impressive as the colony expands. It’s a coral that draws attention from across the room but reveals even more detail up close.
Care & Details
* Lighting: Low to moderate
* Flow: Low to moderate
* Placement: Lower to middle regions of the aquarium
* Growth: Moderate
* Feeding: Benefits from occasional feeding of reef foods and small meaty foods
* Aggression: Moderate to high – can extend sweeper tentacles at night
A colourful and hardy brain coral combining bright watermelon-style contrast with attractive raised corallites and excellent long-term growth potential.
