These corals are cherished for their unique patterns and can be a focal point in a diverse reef display. This piece measures approximately 12cm. Some aquarists consider them a type of Favia or Favites, known for their distinct appearance. This coral is a robust addition to many setups, offering a blend of visual interest and resilience. Many hobbyists appreciate the bold and defined patterns that these corals develop under stable conditions. Their growth form and unique colouration make them a popular choice for those looking to add a standout piece to their collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReverse Frammer Corals typically exhibit a brain-like or encrusting growth habit, forming dense colonies of corallites. The \"reverse frammer\" patterning refers to a specific colour arrangement where the central disc and outer wall of each corallite display contrasting hues, creating a striking visual effect that reverses between neighbouring polyps. Their fleshy polyps extend during feeding and can show various textures and folds. The individual polyps are often well-defined, contributing to the overall structure and appeal of the colony. When fully expanded, the coral presents a lush, intricate surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal health, Reverse Frammer Corals thrive under moderate lighting, ideally between 100-200 PAR, and moderate, indirect water flow to prevent detritus from settling. They should be placed on a stable rockwork structure in the mid to lower sections of the aquarium. While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with small, meaty foods like mysis shrimp or copepods a few times a week can enhance growth and colouration. Maintain stable water parameters: calcium at 400-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-10 dKH, and magnesium at 1300-1350 ppm. Give them adequate space, as their sweepers can sting neighbouring corals. A gradual acclimation process is always recommended when introducing new corals to a system.\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":50224983539767,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-RRON","price":420.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/48a05770-9308-4cdf-ba30-4d02d61baac1-_MG_4973.png?v=1790284948","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/reverse-frammer-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
