Favia lighting question

[reefpeeper]

Do favias like higher or lower light. Does it depend on the type.

 

[acronautical]

I have found, in 6 years of reefkeeping, it is inevitably lower light that maintains vivid coloration in favias. More often than not, that is; there are always exceptons, though.

Seems that is the case for most LPS. I always end up moving most stuff to the lower light. That and feeding more often helps a lot as well.

 

[reefpeeper]

do they mind being on the sand bed

No, but anything buried in the sand will most assuredly die.
