Dragon soul favia brain coral care and discussion

I'm not saying it's a guarantee, but I've seen scolys try to grab at anything that gets too close. If a Dragon Soul's tentacles get too close to the scoly's mouth, it's definitely possible for the scoly to try and snag it.

My Dragon Soul is about the size of a jumbo grapefruit, and I can attest that it thrives in low to medium light conditions. It's definitely not a fan of strong lighting, as it tends to bleach under intense illumination. I've found that mounting it on a rock allows it to grow and expand freely.

While I haven't personally observed long sweeper tentacles on this coral, I do notice the short feeder tentacles emerging at night. As for growth rate, I wouldn't say it's rapid, but rather steady and consistent. When it comes to fragging, be prepared to take a decent chunk of the underlying rock, as the polyps adhere quite well to the surface.
