High light, high flow. It's an SPS and prefers conditions you would keep SPS in.

I Have 2 types, a hairy pavona, and a ORA mint chip smooth skin pavona.

Would it be good for beginners? Also how about psammacora

Psammocora is good for beginners. Not sure of Pavona. TG has good source for care level of most popular corals

Mine actually prefers medium light. It's healthy and grows nice - neon green pavona.

My Pavona will grow anywhere. It does need light and some flow though. Low, high, mine do not seem to care where I put them. It just grows. I have just a pink one with some green tentacles.

Yes, both are considered good beginner SPS.

FYI - There are something like 13 different Pavona species. Many are found in higher light, but also in medium to medium low levels. So, basically, a very adaptable coral that is common for a reason (can adapt to various reef conditions and has an aggressive nature using sweeper tentacles).

Psammacora is also light and flow adaptable, but is a cream-puff in comparison

I'm starting to think I can't kill my chip pavona. First it arrived in a cold leaking bag. It lived. Then it got snapped off the frag plug so I globbed glue all over and stuck it back on. It lived. Smashed into while doing a water change breaking it into multiple pieces, glued it back together. It lived. Apparently immune to it's greatest pest...me! Great coral!

The pavona I have in one of my tanks at work does well at virtually any level in the tank and grows like crazy. It is very aggressive toward other corals and the sweeper tentacles can extend over an inch.

I might pick up a psmannacora

Psammocora contigua was the first hard coral I ever kept. It was peaceful and very forgiving. It did well under T-5s and 10 years later I still have several colonies I fragged off the original under LEDs. Under lower light it mostly encrusts with little branching, but the higher the light, the more it branches.
