{"product_id":"gold-dragon-soul-favia","title":"Gold Dragon Soul Favia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Dragon Soul Favia is a classic, hardy large polyp stony coral that has earned a solid place in the reef keeping hobby. Known for its distinct brain-like ridges and contrasting oral discs, it provides a striking focal point on the lower rockwork. This particular piece measures approximately 7cm across, showing healthy tissue coverage over a well-formed skeletal base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts growth form is encrusting to massive, gradually coating adjacent rock as it lays down a sturdy calcium carbonate skeleton. The corallites display rich gold coloration across the outer tissue and walls, set off by darker contrasting centres. During daylight hours, the coral maintains a smooth, fleshy appearance, while after lights out it extends short feeding tentacles from each mouth to capture suspended food particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal health, position this coral in the lower to middle zones of the tank under moderate lighting of around 80 to 150 PAR. Provide moderate, indirect water flow to keep the tissue free of settling detritus without blasting the polyps. Like most stony corals, it relies on stable water parameters with calcium maintained between 420 and 440 ppm, alkalinity at 8 to 9 dKH, and magnesium around 1300 to 1350 ppm. Weekly target feeding of fine meaty items such as mysis or enriched LPS pellets will encourage steady growth. Favia can extend sweeper tentacles at night, so give it roughly 5cm of clearance from neighboring species, and acclimate it carefully to your system lighting over a week or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67653920784439,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20261022-KXHB","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/34629116-db6b-4eb1-98aa-73cdb7b5667c-28-_MG_5382.jpg?v=1792692993","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/gold-dragon-soul-favia","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
