ECC Slightly Sinister Favia Frag
Transform Your Tank with a Named Collector Morph That Earns Its Dark Reputation
Looking for a Favia that goes beyond the ordinary? The ECC Slightly Sinister is a pedigreed morph with the kind of coloration that lives up to its name — deep, moody tones with high-contrast center eyes that create an almost foreboding visual intensity under reef lighting. ECC-named morphs carry collector credibility, and the Slightly Sinister has built a reputation in the reef community for its rich, saturated color profile that only deepens as the coral settles and grows. This is a frag with a future — Favias are encrusting LPS corals that spread outward over time, gradually turning a single frag into a colony-level display piece.
Favias are one of the most forgiving LPS corals you can keep. They adapt well to a range of lighting and flow conditions, tolerate minor parameter fluctuations better than most stony corals, and reward consistent target feeding with accelerated growth and intensifying coloration. Place it low to mid-tank on stable rockwork and give it room to expand — the Slightly Sinister is a long game worth playing.
