This months coral is Favias. These are very interesting looking corals and come in many different colors and varieties. Favias are part of the very large family of brain corals. These corals are commonly called Moon Coral, Green Moon Coral, Pineapple Coral, Brain Coral, and Star Coral.
Hardiness: These corals are generally considered easy to keep.
Water flow: They like a gentle current going across them.
Feeding: Favias can be fed and benefit from it just like any other brain or LPS.
Lighting: They prefer high light but will tolerate lower light like Power Compacts.
Aggressiveness: They can and will send out small transparent sweeper tentacles at night. They are considered moderately aggressive. A 2" border around them should keep any coral safe.
Placement: Depending on lighting conditions they can be place mid tank with low flow.
Here are a few pictures of them:

Enjoy!
