We list this item as "Favia" with quotes because it is more likely not from the genus Favia. It may be from the genus Dipsastraea or something else. The hobby is slow to adapt to new nomenclature and the taxonomy with this family of corals is complicated, so most hobbyist would call this a "Favia" even though that is now incorrect.(most Favia are native to the Atlantic and not collected for the hobby) Like all the corals currently listed from TerraReef, this specimen is an aquacultured coral. It is very important that you are aware of the care requirements of these corals before ordering. Please take some time to read some information from a few sources. This item is a "stock item" meaning the coral you receive may not be the exact one in the picture, but a clone similar in appearance. Sometimes we include images of our mother colonies as well to give an idea of what the corals will grow into under proper care. Approximate size range may also vary between individual specimens.
