Moon Stone Favia Coral

from $27.95

Moon Stone Favia – Live Saltwater LPS Coral Brain Coral | Cyan Center | Blue & Milky Pink Body

Classification: Collector LPS Coral

Common Name: Moon Stone Favia

Scientific Name: Favia sp.

Coral Type: LPS (Large Polyp Stony)

Growth Form: Brain coral with distinct individual corallites

Coloration: Bright cyan center - with teal, blue, and milky pink body tones

Moon Stone Favia is a visually striking large polyp stony coral admired for its soft pastel coloration, defined structure, and dependable performance in reef aquariums. Each corallite displays a bright cyan center (mouth) surrounded by a blend of cyan, blue, and milky pink tissue, creating a calm yet high-contrast appearance that stands out under both blue and full-spectrum reef lighting.

Commonly referred to as moon coral or brain coral, Favia species are among the most widespread and diverse corals in the reef hobby. They are known for their distinct growth patterns and broad range of colors and textures. Moon Stone Favia maintains its coloration well under stable conditions and does not exhibit dramatic color shifts with lighting changes, making it a reliable choice for long-term display.

This coral performs best under medium to high lighting, though it should be acclimated gradually when introduced to stronger light sources. It prefers low to moderate water flow, which allows the fleshy tissue to expand fully without stress. Excessive flow may cause retraction and reduced extension.

Like most LPS corals, Moon Stone Favia relies primarily on photosynthesis through symbiotic zooxanthellae. However, it can also benefit from occasional direct feeding with small meaty foods such as finely chopped shrimp, fish, or squid. Properly sized food helps support growth and overall vitality without overwhelming the coral.

With its balanced color palette, durable nature, and manageable care requirements, Moon Stone Favia is an excellent addition to both beginner and established reef aquariums.

Great For

Beginner and intermediate reef keepers, mixed reef aquariums, and hobbyists seeking a calm yet colorful LPS coral with reliable growth and soft pastel tones.

LPS Corals – Colorful, Hardy, and Easy to Enjoy

LPS corals, or Large Polyp Stony Corals, are one of the most popular types of corals for reef aquariums. Unlike SPS corals, which have tiny polyps, LPS corals have larger, fleshy polyps that expand and move with the water, giving them a lively, flowing appearance. Their solid calcium skeletons provide structure to your reef, while their soft, colorful polyps bring vibrant color and texture that can transform a tank into a dynamic underwater garden.

LPS corals are beloved by both beginners and experienced hobbyists because they are hardy and relatively easy to care for, yet still offer striking colors and patterns. Many species, like Acan, Blastomussa, Candy Cane, Chalice, Frogspawn, Galaxea, Hammer, Lobo/Brain, and Torch, can thrive under moderate lighting and medium water flow, making them versatile for most reef setups. Their large mouths allow them to feed effectively, and occasional target feeding can encourage faster growth and more intense coloration.

At coralSLover, all our LPS corals are aquacultured, meaning they are sustainably grown in controlled systems to ensure they adapt successfully to home aquariums. This gives your reef a better chance of thriving, with healthy, vibrant corals that are easier to maintain. Whether you’re starting your first reef or adding colorful accents to an established tank, LPS corals are a favorite choice for creating movement, beauty, and life in any marine display. 

Care at a Glance – LPS Corals

Lighting: Moderate to moderately high lighting brings out vibrant coloration and supports steady growth. Many LPS prefer indirect or slightly shaded areas to avoid tissue stress.

Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is ideal. Gentle but consistent flow keeps polyps clean and extended without damaging their fleshy tissue.

Placement: Mid to lower rockwork or sandbed is often best. Allow ample space between colonies, as many LPS have long sweeper tentacles and can sting neighbors.

Water Quality: Stable parameters are key — maintain balanced alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels with low to moderate nutrients. Sudden changes can stress fleshy polyps.

Feeding: LPS benefit from targeted or occasional broadcast feeding of meaty or particulate foods to support faster growth and vibrant coloration.

Difficulty: Beginner to intermediate friendly — many LPS are hardy but appreciate consistent conditions and occasional feeding for best results.

Sustainability: Fully aquacultured, zero wild collection — responsibly grown and well adapted to aquarium life.
