What LT Jelly Bean Favites needs
Moderate light and low-to-moderate indirect flow suit most colonies. Leave room around the growing edge and check the coral after dark before final placement because sweeper reach can exceed the visible daytime tissue.

Use these as a steady operating range, not numbers to chase from day to day.

How to acclimate LT Jelly Bean Favites
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.
- Match temperature, inspect the coral under white light, and use a coral dip that is appropriate for the coral group. Do not add shipping water to the display.
- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
LT Jelly Bean Favites care questions
Where should I place LT Jelly Bean Favites?
Start at Lower to middle reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does LT Jelly Bean Favites need?
Use Low to moderate flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed LT Jelly Bean Favites?
Recommended frequency: Optional, up to weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
