You may have also heard zoanthus referred to as zoanthids which is correct, but if you want to be a stickler for details, the term zoanthids refers to all the corals in the order while zoanthus is specific to the genus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is quite a lot of active research on Zoanthid taxonomy and the cutting edge is DNA classification. It is not nearly as straight forward as it may seem. There is a LOT of genetic consistency so it is a chore to find small segments of DNA that are actually different enough to base a scientific classification on. Over 90% of the coral’s genome is identical so a lot of current research is delving into that. Genetic research is further complicated by the effect the environment has on the expression of the genetic code. The genes themselves don’t change but the how the organism reads the genetic code in response to the environment does so you could see two very different traits in corals originate from an identical genetic sequence. I expect quite a lot of reclassification to occur in this space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was once 300 identified species has been whittled down to around 50-60 in the past several years depending on the criteria used to differentiate the different morphs. There are new classification insights as more genetic testing is being done, but for the purposes of this hobby-focused website, we've chosen to arbitrarily lump larger polyp individuals into Palythoa and smaller polyp specimens into Zoanthus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a practical matter, there is some degree of fogginess you will encounter in this industry whether something is called a Zoanthus or a Palythoa because there is a wide range of physical variation within the genus. On the far ends of the spectrum the two are easy to differentiate but once you get into large polyp Zoanthus variants and smaller polyp Palythoa variants, the naming convention breaks down at the hobbyist level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalytoxin Warning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore we get into the care tips for zoas, I need to address the potential toxicity of these corals. Some can contain a compound called palytoxin that is a very dangerous poison. Palytoxin is associated more with Palythoa than Zoanthus, but it is possible for zoas to have it. I don’t know if those zoas produce it themselves or acquire it from neighboring Palythoa. In the wild, palytoxin shows up in organisms that don’t actively produce it such as sponges, mussels, and starfish but live in close proximity to palythoa. It can even be found in other species up the food chain such as crabs and fish through biomagnification. I’ll touch on this again when we discuss pests, because as lethal as palytoxin is, there is no shortage of organisms that are more than happy to consume them with no ill effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scientific community has been aware of palytoxin since the 1960’s but it has been used as a means of biological warfare by Polynesian cultures for much longer. There is a legend of a sacred seaweed that grew in a special pool that when applied to a warrior’s spear would bring sure death to his enemies. In 1961 researchers tracked down the fabled pool in Maui and found colonies of Palythoa toxica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt wasn’t until the 1990’s that the mechanism of action was identified. Palytoxin binds to the sodium potassium pump on the membrane of cells. If you don’t remember what this is from high school biology, the sodium potassium pump is REALLY important to ion movement in and out of the cell and affects all sorts of biological processes so any interruption of that royally screws things up. It is why the symptoms of palytoxin poisoning are seemingly all-inclusive. Initially there was some skepticism regarding this mechanism of action but it was confirmed in 1995 in a pretty clever study. They exposed yeast cells to palytoxin because yeast cells don’t have a sodium potassium pump. Those yeast cells were unaffected but when given to yeast cells that researchers genetically modified to encode a sheep’s sodium potassium pump, all the cells died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn practice you are not likely to get palytoxin poisoning just by having zoas or palythoa in your home aquarium. It resides in the flesh of the coral so it becomes an issue when the colony is damaged. People have gotten sick from scrubbing palythoa off of rocks or propagating a colony with a band saw that would send the particles airborne and then inhaled. People have also gotten sick by boiling rocks with colonies on it because that too sends the compounds airborne and unlike many other proteins, palytoxin does not lose its toxicity when heated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eLighting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoanthus and Palythoa are not as demanding as other corals when it comes to lighting.

The Anacropora is one of those corals where the scientific name is the de facto common name. Having said that, “briar coral” is a somewhat fitting name because as the colony gets larger the branches fuse together resembling a briar patch. As fas as classification goes, Anacropora is part of the Acroporidae family along with popular corals such as Acropora and Montipora. I always thought they looked like a more branching version of a Montipora setosa, especially when you look at how the polyps are spaced out on the body and how there are no terminal polyps at the tips of each branch like an Acropora would have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Anacropora Coral Care Tips\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CZX_hKETiNs\" height=\"350\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLighting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would recommend either medium to light light, anything from 100 PAR to 300 PAR. This coral will change color depending on the type and intensity of lighting provided. More light = lighter colony color, medium light = more rich colors brown polyp color which is lost in high light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main concern is to avoid shocking a new addition with too much light right away. This is true for pretty much all newly added corals. Far more damage is done by initial overexposure to light rather than too little light. If you have a particularly high intensity lighted tank, let’s say with an average of 200+ PAR, just take the requisite steps to allow the coral to slowly adapt to those lighting conditions. If you see it start to fade or worse yet bleach, find a spot under an overhand low in the tank or a spot off axis from the source of light where the intensity is lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tidalgardens.com\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/tg-lightbar-low.png\" width=\"265\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow light translates to about 30-50 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" width=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tidalgardens.com\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/tg-lightbar-mid.png\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium Light is between 50-150 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" width=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tidalgardens.com\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/tg-lightbar-high.png\" height=\"31\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Light is anything over 150 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting is a loaded topic, so for a more in-depth discussion of lighting, please see our detailed lighting video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uBZhjPuqpUo\" title=\"The Deep Dive into Reef Aquarium Lighting\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater Flow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would recommend medium to high flow, but again pay attention to the size and density of the colony.

They come in a variety of shapes and colors depending on where they were collected. Provided with proper conditions, they grow quickly and display wonderful coloration. They are much hardier than Acropora in that they do not bleach as readily, and are more resistant to coral diseases. Be careful what you place Montipora near. They do not have powerful nematocysts and will lose just about every territorial battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclimation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper acclimation is extremely important considering the stress imposed on the animals by the shipping process.

That means that there are essentially zero Favia brains in the reef aquarium hobby because stony corals from the Caribbean are illegal to collect. So what happened to all these species of Favia? Coral taxonomists over the years reclassified them into other genera as more information was uncovered.

Like chalice corals, this collective of closed brain corals is ripe for misidentification especially considering many of the images online were published with either correct-at-the-time labeling or were totally misidentified from the start.

Most of the time, this is not a major problem but to be safe, we recommend placing it in a location far from other corals initially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nw_q-6Eumwo\" title=\"Coral Aggression \u0026amp; Thoughts on Coral Placement\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003ePropagation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquaculture prospects for Favia are going to vary on a Genus to Genus basis.

The common name for Leptoseris is wrinkle coral but just about everyone in the hobby refers to this coral by its scientific name rather than its common name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Leptoseris first arrived there were only a few color variants and at that time, Leptoseris were very expensive. Luckily, Leptoseris are one of the fastest growing corals. Stores and hobbyists propagated them extensively thus increasing both the supply and varieties for sale. The number of varieties was key because Leptoseris are not frequently imported compared to other stony corals. Due to sustained aquaculture efforts, the uncommon color morphs that were imported became readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Leptoseris corals introduced had some variant of orange coloration. Some were solid orange, while others had an orange body with highlights around the mouths. Over the past several years, more color morphs made their way into the market place. Our favorites here are a bright yellow variant known as a 24K Leptoseris. It will be interesting to see if there are more color morphs that will turn up in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne attractive aspect of their appearance is their fluorescence. Not every coral is loaded with fluorescent proteins so they may have a pleasant color under daylight lighting but they do not glow under actinic lighting, so they will appear drab. Leptoseris however have some of the most intense fluorescence. This is great because some of the colors are uncommon to find fluorescence in such as the yellows, oranges, and reds. In addition to their exotic color palate, Leptoseris have a subtle pinstripe pattern that gives them an almost metallic appearance when viewed from afar. When they grow out, the coral encrusts over the surface of the rock and can make for a bright and beautiful landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZzMOmUCnm8w\" title=\"Leptoseris Coral Care Tips\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLighting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have kept Leptoseris in different lighting intensities here at BPK. The best results as far as growth and coloration are concerned were achieved under moderate lighting intensities, between 75-125 PAR. Leptoseris are fairly adaptable to different lighting so dialing in an exact light is not something I would spend a lot of time doing, but long term lighting that is too dim might dull their color and lighting that is too bright risks burning the coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you start to see the coral starting to turn lighter and bleach out, the most likely culprit is inappropriately high lighting intensity however there may be other causes that we will discuss later. When in doubt, favor lower lighting intensities until it is clear that the coral is demanding more. The lowest lighting we have grown this coral in was around 40 PAR. It grows fine in those conditions, but the appearance is not as dazzling as colonies that are grown in higher light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeptoseris do not shift colors though.

There are two things that I am looking to accomplish with flow for this coral. The first is to give it enough flow to keep it clean. Although Leptoseris is an encrusting coral, they can develop irregular folds and bowl-like shapes that can trap detritus if not given enough water movement. Detritus build-up will cause the coral to die back where it collects. Providing elevated flow levels prevent this accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is such a thing as too much flow for this coral. If you have a powerhead blowing right at Leptoseris from short range, it may kill off some of the tissue at that point of contact. What I look for is just a little bit of inflation and extension. That may sound non-intuitive talking about inflation in a small polyp encrusting coral, but a healthy and happy Leptoseris can swell slightly, especially towards the edge of the colony. It is a very subtle thing I look for and the opposite appearance is a warning sign that something is wrong. I don’t like seeing Leptoseris drawn in tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember to pay attention to maintaining consistency of water movement as time goes on. Unfortunately, this is a moving target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two things over time that dramatically affect the performance of water flow systems. The first is the growth of the colony itself. Successfully growing corals comes with the downside of the corals cutting down the flow significantly. As colonies get larger and larger, it is important as hobbyists to pay close attention to changing flow demands and consider adding more flow or pruning colonies back to allow more space for water to flow through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, other organisms such as algae, sponges, and other sessile invertebrates love to grow in and around the aquarium’s pumps and plumbing. For this reason I recommend taking apart pumps and powerheads regularly for servicing. It does not take very much growth or blockages to greatly limit water flow output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProviding periodic low flow is also beneficial for this coral for the purposes of feeding. Spot feeding Leptoseris is not something that a lot of hobbyists do, but I am all for it if people want to be proactive. They are not a particularly aggressive feeder, and if the colony only receives strong flow it won’t get a good opportunity to capture food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003cb\u003eFeeding\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeptoseris are photosynthetic so they will get the majority of their nutrition from the lighting provided. This next discussion is for hobbyists that want to proactively feed their corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeptoseris do not put on dramatic feeding displays like some large polyp stony corals. To see any kind of feeding behavior you practically need a macro lens and run a time lapse. When corals like Leptoseris take a long time to ingest food it makes it more likely for other tank inhabitants to come steal the food away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite not being the most aggressive feeders in the world, there are three great sources of food that work well for broadcast feeing. These three are amino acids, small zooplankton, and simply having fish present as a nitrogen source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with amino acids, they are simple organic compounds that play a major role in building proteins as well as other biological functions at the cellular level. There are a little over 20 different types of amino acids but in most animals, there are only 9 or so that their bodies cannot synthesize and must be taken in by feeding. Corals regularly take in available amino acids from the water column so it is easy to provide them with adequate quantities by broadcast feeding an amino acid solution. They are available from any number of commercially available reef supplement manufacturers. This may be the easiest way to feed Leptoseris because as long as amino acids are bioavailable in the water column, the corals will soak them up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext up, small zooplankton include organisms such as rotifers and cyclops plankton. There are two kinds, frozen and powdered. The frozen variety makes an orange cloud when thawed introduced into the tank. Sometimes rotifers are included in frozen blends or coral specific frozen foods. There are also powdered coral foods that contain zooplankton. The presence of rotifers in the water is immediately apparent to the corals because many of them will open up and initiate their feeding behavior. For what it is worth, I notice a more pronounced feeding behavior with the powder supplement than when feeding the frozen food alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast point on nutrition, having fish in and around coral colonies tends to have a positive effect. Fish provide a steady dose of nitrogen and phosphorous which in small quantities is helpful for their nutritional needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough coral nutrition is important, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Most of the nutrition Leptoseris needs will come from the lighting and they will be absorbing other nutrients from the water. If you are going to experiment with broadcast feeding or target feeding, start slowly with it and don’t expect explosive changes overnight. Having some phosphate and nitrate in the water is beneficial but overfeeding can cause these parameters to rise to dangerous levels that can be hard to remedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWater Cleanliness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhosphate and Nitrate are great general measurements of water cleanliness however corals do need to have some present for their nutrition because those are compounds that they cannot get from photosynthesis alone. If Nitrate levels get too high corals may react negatively by taking on drab coloration or suddenly dying back. If Phosphate levels are too high, it may feed into an unwanted algae bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere can be trouble as well if these two parameters are too low. Often I see Leptoseris struggle in systems that too aggressively implement carbon dosing or GFO. The corals first take on a shrunken emaciated look and then they start dying off. For Leptoseris specifically, I would rather see Nitrate and Phosphate levels on the high side than barely detectable because we have kept them in systems with very high nutrient with no difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWater Chemistry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Leptoseris are stony corals, and fast growing stony corals at that, there are three major chemical parameters that are needed to power that skeletal growth. These parameters are Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting first with Calcium… Calcium is one of the major ions in saltwater. In the ocean, its level hovers around 425 parts per million (ppm). As a coral grows calcium is absorbed from the water and used to forms its calcium carbonate skeleton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JGCi39crhdI\" title=\"Reef Chemistry: Calcium Level Testing\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkalinity on the other hand is not a particular ion, but rather a general figure of carbonate availability in the water. Technically it is the amount of acid required to lower the pH of saltwater to the point bicarbonate turns into carbonic acid. If you have more alkalinity, it can soak up more acid. Less alkalinity and you have less buffering capacity making the tank more susceptible to chemical changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice alkalinity tends to be the parameter that fluctuates the most, so if you cannot manage to test all three, Calcium, alkalinity, AND magnesium and had to choose just one test to perform, test for alkalinity. In the wild, the alkalinity of the water is around 8-9 dkh though some aquarists like to overload this parameter a little and keep their tanks around 10 or 11 dkh. There is some belief that having elevated calcium and alkalinity in the water contributes to faster stony coral growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Reef Chemistry: Magnesium Level Testing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mDpnpnfksSU\" height=\"350\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat should give you a little bit of background on the chemical parameters to keep an eye on. Remember though that the growth rate of Leptoseris may make chemical stability more difficult to pin down, especially with large colonies. In general fast growing SPS soak up calcium, alkalinity, magnesium and trace elements at a much faster rate. At first just regular water changes may be sufficient to keep up with the chemistry demands of the corals, but as the biomass increases, you may have to work in supplementation such as kalkwasser, calcium reactors, or two part dosing… or some combination of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fkpBOi9yMTI\" title=\"Reef Chemistry: Phosphate Level Testing\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eCoral Aggression\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s move onto the topic of aggression.

They are easy to break apart either by bone cutters or by band saw, however they can be a little tricky at times to glue down. We use dollar store gel super glue and just use extra when gluing them down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSummary\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what kind of tank is Leptoseris best suited for? I see this coral being used as a ground cover in SPS dominated tanks as well as mixed reefs with other stony corals. It is a very fast growing coral and can quickly cover rock work basically acting as a much more exotic replacement for coralline algae. Alternatively, it can be used to cover custom made substrates whether that be interesting rock scapes to give it a branching look or sculptures even if the hobbyist is looking to add some novelty to the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne interesting design choice I thought about was with a customer the other day. He wanted to make a coral tree-themed tank where the rock work had a thick central trunk that would extend out with Tonga branch rock and create a canopy. Leptoseris could make an interesting cover coral on the trunk part because it is fairly good in low light and there are enough color variations to provide either a muted color as to not distract from the limbs and leaves of the tree OR you could go the complete opposite direction and use a bright yellow Leptoseris to make the trunk look like it is made of gold. You could even go with a mix of different leptoseris colors to make a painted tree look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat pretty much does it for Leptoseris.

These brain corals develop multiple growth forms and come in just about every color and pattern imaginable. The diversity however is a little bit deceptive. Have you ever got the feeling that the term Favia covered a lot of corals that looked somewhat different? You are not alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFavia brain corals were one of the largest categories of large polyp stony corals in the reef aquarium hobby. At one time there were nearly 100 species of Favia but now that number dwindled down to only two, Favia fragum, and Favia gravida, both of which are Caribbean species. That means that there are essentially zero Favia brains in the reef aquarium hobby because stony corals from the Caribbean are illegal to collect. So what happened to all these species of Favia? Coral taxonomists over the years reclassified them into other genera as more information was uncovered. Most of the corals that were once classified as Favia are now Dipsastraea, Goniastrea, Coelastrea, or Favites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MyiYPjCBlCw\" title=\"\" closed=\"\" brain=\"\" coral=\"\" care=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo why we we still use the term “Favia?” We feel it is more important to use the term that the community is searching for when they are looking for help with their coral. In a way, the term Favia in the reef aquarium has turned into a term of art describing a group of “closed brain corals” similar to “Chalice Corals,” the difference being one is actually a scientific genus and the other is a common name. Like chalice corals, this collective of closed brain corals is ripe for misidentification especially considering many of the images online were published with either correct-at-the-time labeling or were totally misidentified from the start.

It may be true in some cases, but I think that it is less of a factor in Favia health compared to other corals. Favia are tolerant to a wide range of flow patterns and adjusting flow specifically for Favia may be fruitless. I like to try and provide a very middle-of-the-road low to medium flow. Too little flow and you run the risk of allowing detritus to settle on the colonies which creates dead spots. Too much flow and you run the risk of damaging the coral. You will know if you are overdoing it if the flow is slamming one side of the coral and it is drawn tight to the skeleton all the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor feeding purposes I like being able to shut off all the flow for about 20-30 min to allow the colony to react to the food and consume it.

It is not nearly as straight forward as it may seem. There is a LOT of genetic consistency so it is a chore to find small segments of DNA that are actually different enough to base a scientific classification on. Over 90% of the coral’s genome is identical so a lot of current research is delving into that. Genetic research is further complicated by the effect the environment has on the expression of the genetic code. The genes themselves don’t change but the how the organism reads the genetic code in response to the environment does so you could see two very different traits in corals originate from an identical genetic sequence. I expect quite a lot of reclassification to occur in this space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was once 300 identified species has been whittled down to around 50-60 in the past several years depending on the criteria used to differentiate the different morphs.

On the far ends of the spectrum the two are easy to differentiate but once you get into large polyp Zoanthus variants and smaller polyp Palythoa variants, the naming convention breaks down at the hobbyist level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalytoxin Warning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore we get into the care tips for zoas, I need to address the potential toxicity of these corals. Some can contain a compound called palytoxin that is a very dangerous poison. Palytoxin is associated more with Palythoa than Zoanthus, but it is possible for zoas to have it. I don’t know if those zoas produce it themselves or acquire it from neighboring Palythoa. In the wild, palytoxin shows up in organisms that don’t actively produce it such as sponges, mussels, and starfish but live in close proximity to palythoa. It can even be found in other species up the food chain such as crabs and fish through biomagnification. I’ll touch on this again when we discuss pests, because as lethal as palytoxin is, there is no shortage of organisms that are more than happy to consume them with no ill effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scientific community has been aware of palytoxin since the 1960’s but it has been used as a means of biological warfare by Polynesian cultures for much longer. There is a legend of a sacred seaweed that grew in a special pool that when applied to a warrior’s spear would bring sure death to his enemies. In 1961 researchers tracked down the fabled pool in Maui and found colonies of Palythoa toxica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt wasn’t until the 1990’s that the mechanism of action was identified. Palytoxin binds to the sodium potassium pump on the membrane of cells. If you don’t remember what this is from high school biology, the sodium potassium pump is REALLY important to ion movement in and out of the cell and affects all sorts of biological processes so any interruption of that royally screws things up. It is why the symptoms of palytoxin poisoning are seemingly all-inclusive. Initially there was some skepticism regarding this mechanism of action but it was confirmed in 1995 in a pretty clever study. They exposed yeast cells to palytoxin because yeast cells don’t have a sodium potassium pump. Those yeast cells were unaffected but when given to yeast cells that researchers genetically modified to encode a sheep’s sodium potassium pump, all the cells died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn practice you are not likely to get palytoxin poisoning just by having zoas or palythoa in your home aquarium. It resides in the flesh of the coral so it becomes an issue when the colony is damaged. People have gotten sick from scrubbing palythoa off of rocks or propagating a colony with a band saw that would send the particles airborne and then inhaled. People have also gotten sick by boiling rocks with colonies on it because that too sends the compounds airborne and unlike many other proteins, palytoxin does not lose its toxicity when heated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLighting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoanthus and Palythoa are not as demanding as other corals when it comes to lighting.

It is always wise however to acclimate new arrivals in lower light areas because it is far more likely to be damaged from overexposure than starve from underexposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow light translates to about 30-50 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium Light is between 50-150 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Light is anything over 150 PAR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting is a loaded topic, so for a more in-depth discussion of lighting, please see our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tidalgardens.com\/deep-dive-reef-aquarium-lighting\/\"\u003eDeep Dive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003earticle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater Flow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoanthus by their very shape invite detritus accumulation and a zoa colony that is dirty is very different than one that is kept clean.

That means that there are essentially zero Favia brains in the reef aquarium hobby because stony corals from the Caribbean are illegal to collect. So what happened to all these species of Favia?

In a way, the term Favia in the reef aquarium has turned into a term of art describing a group of “closed brain corals” similar to “Chalice Corals,” the difference being one is actually a scientific genus and the other is a common name. Like chalice corals, this collective of closed brain corals is ripe for misidentification especially considering many of the images online were published with either correct-at-the-time labeling or were totally misidentified from the start.

This is one aspect where lumping them all into one category doesn’t quite work out so well. Some varieties like Favites grow incredibly fast. Other varieties like Coelastrea are one of the slowest. That is the major hurdle with long term aquaculture - the growth rate of these corals. They can be cut pretty easily and heal well from cutting across the board but some might not be the best candidates for long term commercial aquaculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"LPS Propagation - Favia Brain Coral\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hse-zEoXfos\" height=\"350\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclimation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper acclimation is extremely important considering the stress imposed on the animals by the shipping process.

Lithophyllons are generally rarely imported, and if brought in are usually small hitchhikers in the color of brown or light green, both undesirable colors. This bright orange Lithophyllon with a splash of little green is a rare coloration when it comes to Lithophyllons. Although rare, Lithophyllons aren't very difficult to care for. They are essentially the low light version of Montiporas, where they encrust and use elements such Calcium and Alkalinity to grow.
