Ultra Aussie Favites
Transform Your Tank with a True Australian Showpiece
Looking for a bold LPS coral that stops the scroll? The Ultra Aussie Favites is one of the most sought-after brain corals in the hobby — prized for its vivid, high-contrast colorways that range from electric greens and deep reds to neon oranges and vivid purples. Australian-sourced morphs are in a class of their own, consistently producing more intense pigmentation than their Indo-Pacific counterparts. This is not a coral you find at your local box store.
Favites corals are a rewarding addition to any reef tank, offering steady, predictable growth with a colony structure that becomes increasingly impressive over time. They extend feeding tentacles at night and respond well to targeted spot feeding, giving aquarists an engaging, interactive experience. Hardy enough for intermediate keepers yet complex enough to excite experts, this specimen earns its place as a centerpiece in any serious saltwater aquarium.
