WWC Blood Diamond Favia - Over grown plug!

WWC Blood Diamond Favia - Over grown plug!

You will receive a over grown plug of WWC Blood Diamonds.

Blood Diamond sounds like the sort of thing that should come with a security guard and its own little velvet box. Instead, WWC put the name on a coral, and it works surprisingly well. Deep blood-red tissue surrounds bright green centers, with each corallite outlined by darker ridges that give the colony its cut-gem pattern.

This is an older WWC aquacultured piece that many reef keepers still know as the WWC Blood Diamond Favia, although WWC now identifies it as a Favites. Taxonomy can move the name around all it wants—Blood Diamond stuck.

FlowModerate

LowModerateHigh
Provide Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Favia. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.

PlacementLower to Mid level

Placement of your WWC Blood Diamond Favia is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 100 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Lower to Mid level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Encrusting growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
