Microfavia is a small-polyp stony (SPS) coral in the Faviidae family, closely related to Favites and Goniastrea. It’s a hardy, encrusting to dome-shaped coral that forms tightly packed polyps with well-defined walls. Microfavia colonies often display vivid colors—greens, reds, oranges, and mixed “rainbow” patterns—which make them popular in reef aquariums. They grow relatively slowly but adapt well under moderate light and flow, making them a good choice for mixed reefs.
