Red & Green War Coral Frag (Favites pentagona)
The Red & Green War Coral is a must-have LPS for reef keepers chasing bold contrast and serious visual impact. With its glowing green walls and deep red centres, this coral creates a striking “battlefield” effect that instantly stands out on your rockwork. Favites are known for their hardy nature and encrusting growth, slowly spreading across rock to form a dense, textured colony. This makes them ideal for building a mature, filled-in reef look over time without needing constant babysitting. Best placed in low to moderate light with gentle to moderate flow, the War Coral is forgiving but rewards stability. Like most LPS, it benefits from occasional feeding with meaty foods, which can boost growth and intensify colour. Be aware—this coral is aggressive. It sends out sweeper tentacles at night, so give it space from other corals to avoid stings.
