Hi all!
Any tips or tricks to getting favia to grow??
Location/flow/feeding anything? This thing is beautiful and tiny!
 
Spot feed tiny foods like reef frenzy or reef chili once a week. That should usually do well! Otherwise if you broadcast feed that works too.
 
I feed mine at night every few days. Have only had mine for about a month so haven't seen much growth out of it but it loves to eat frozen mysis and brine shrimp.
 
Not all favias are the same and I'm not talking about enchinatas..:
Some (like spacecake) are super sensitive and need to be placed in shaded areas with low flow to maintain their brilliant colors.
Others (like war and peace) will grow in almost any system.
Always keep a close eye on them for the first couple of weeks.
