War Coral – Intense Color, Battlefield Beauty

The War Coral (Favites sp.) is a true reef warrior—known for its blood-red to crimson base, neon green mouths, and sharp, ridged texture that gives it an unmistakable presence. It’s a coral that brings color contrast, drama, and rugged beauty to any reefscape, earning its name with every glowing polyp.

Under blue spectrum lighting, the green centers explode with fluorescence while the red base deepens to a glowing ember. This coral grows as a slow-to-moderate encrusting plate, developing a thick, armor-like texture that spreads with confidence over rockwork or plugs.
