Can someone please id this coral? Any info flow, light, feeding etc is appreciated.

favia (pineapple) brain coral

Lighting - moderate
Flow - moderate or low
Feeding - does not need to be fed but will accept food

Other important info - the coral has a large skeleton so it will consume a lot of calcium if it's growing. I suggest keeping your calcium levels at 400 - 440 ppm for best growth.

Thankyou @Antarctickeelu :)

What lighting type are you using? Favia can loose coloration quickly under intense lighting if not acclimated for awhile. You might consider moving the piece down if the coral is up in the rock work.

Thanks for the tip @Tahoe61. It is pretty close to the sand. I have 2x 165w viperspectre lights running whites at 60% and blues at 70% 8" above the tank. Had them slightly turned down for the first 2 days to acclimate it.

It had a few brown spots where another coral had attacked it at my lfs. They seem to be going away and the colour looks brighter than ever.
