Common name: Brain Corals

Faviidae, commonly known as Brain Corals, are a family of stony corals recognizable by their spheroid shape and grooved surface resembling a brain. These corals are popular in reef aquariums for their hardiness and diverse colorations. They host symbiotic zooxanthellae which aid in photosynthesis, providing energy for the coral. Brain Corals require moderate lighting and water flow, and benefit from supplemental feedings of plankton or other fine particulate foods.
