Another incredibly colored Favia containing a coloration variant based on the Baby's Breath Limited Edition Favia. The First Wonder Favia has larger corallites that tend to develop more round with distinctly defined ridges. Corallite center pigments are denser with a mix of orange, yellow and turquoise pigments. The center is outlined with a ring of bright pink pigments. Corallite ridges are blue that varies to turquoise blue in the valley areas.

The First Wonder Favia was originally found by Jay (sps4mytank) and Sanh (lowbudget). They discovered the coral on display at the retail reef shop Tong's located in Fountain Valley Southern California. They both split the original colony into two seed sections. Jay and Sanh believe this coral requires moderate to weak water current. They also recommend low to weak light levels. This Favia also apparently grows fairly well in captivity.

Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in a 130 gallon Raceway Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive low light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. The price of this coral per small fragment consisting of a single polyp will be determined by the first edition auction below.
