TUG – Fascination Favia (Aqua-Cultured)
Fascination Favia is aqua-cultured by Underwater Gardener Key West. We are a full service saltwater aquarium shop in Key West with a strong focus on aqua-culture (FL Certificate #AQ0254072).
This coral is suitable for marine aquariums with an intermediate difficulty level. I have been growing this in my own systems for over 3 years, and every piece is inspected before it ships. The photos are taken with no filter using a Sony A 7 IV with a Sigma Macro Lens. The video file is shot under blue spectrum.
You will receive a 3/4 frag (cut to order). This is a very slow grower, the colors are amazing, it will encrust and prefers lower lighting under 75 par. I suggest placing it on the rock work in the lower 1/3 of the reef. It would be ideal on an island, it can sting other corals.
It is imperative that you do not dip the corals upon arrival, they are at their most stressed point and they will peel. Corals should be put in a quarantine tank.
However, we will do our best to take care of you in the event of any DOA.
Corals can detach from the plug during shipping, this is normal as they get bounced around during shipping.
Corals should be acclimated to temp and then placed in quarantine. We do our absolute best to avoid any pests, we still suggest you dip all corals after they have been placed in a quarantine tank for a few days.
Our LPS grow out tank runs around 75-125 par, we suggest you place the coral in slightly lower lighting and then move up over the course of a week. This works for us and it will also work for you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at anytime.
We appreciate your business, if you are ever in Key West, please stop by our showroom 🙂
