📜 Backstory
'War Coral' is a widely-used trade name for these mottled green-and-red Favia/Favites/Echinophyllia pieces; the term is a generic descriptor in the trade rather than a named mother colony, and its exact origin is debated. It is popular because it delivers a chaotic multicolor look at a more accessible price than graded Master/Rainbow Favias.
Keeper tips for this variant
Low-mid light and gentle flow; it colors up best with some shading and benefits from target feeding to maintain the red pigment.
