Added the Red Eye Pin Striped Favia to my reef tank after some research. The color is vibrant and the eye spots are very noticeable under LED lighting. It’s a great addition to the layout and has been extending polyps well in the last few weeks. Only needs stable water parameters to thrive.
Connor Forsyth –
The polyps look alive and active once the lighting was adjusted. The red eye-spots catch the light beautifully. I’m happy with the color contrast and pattern. A bit sensitive to water flow, so I reduced the current around it.
