Favites coral, often called brain coral, is a hardy large-polyp stony coral that forms dome-shaped or encrusting colonies with closely packed, shared walls between polyps. It comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, often with glowing neon greens, reds, and purples that pop under blue lighting. Favites thrive in moderate light and moderate flow, are relatively easy to care for, and need space from other corals since they extend sweeper tentacles at night for defense.
