Favia's are pretty easy to care for. I'd say it would be ok in a variety of conditions. If it were me, I'd place it in moderate light... a little higher light to keep the nice colouration. I'd also put it in a moderate flow area.

They aren't too picky.. IME.

Forgot to add,they can pack a punch so they need room.

Right.. they have really long sweeper tentacles. It stung some of my yuma .. be sure to give it some room.

Thanks that helps, I put it on its own on the bottom for now, I will let it settle there for a while. It gets full light, and has good flow and room to "sweep" as much as it wants.

one thing to watch with favia - some are higher light some are lower light... Watch for the perimiter tissue, if it starts to dissapear move it.

And feed them mysis at night a couple times a week.
