Pavona coral can be aggressive towards other coral species in an aquarium. Pavona corals have sweeper tentacles that they use to defend their space and territory. These corals have been observed to use chemical warfare to compete with neighboring corals for space and resources. They produce toxins that inhibit the growth and development of other coral species, which helps them to establish their territory and maintain dominance in the surrounding area. It is important to keep it away from other species of corals.
