Ade, thats a sweet looking favia, it looks really healthy too. I picked up my first favia frag a few months back and probably paid too much, but I still like it anyways :thumbsup:

Thanks Josh, Yours doesn't look too shabby either.
I got mine for a steal, we ended up at UA on our crawl and got what you see for $75. Not bad for a Tyree War Coral.

Alex, has that thing been growing? I think its time for an updated picture.

The acans that I got from the group buy are doing awesome. Most of the polyps that were cut have reformed!

Not sure what they call this but I love it and IMO that is what matters.

:lol:


yeah, i don't like how its growing on the frag disk, so i'll prob be fragging it up in another month or two. i just recently cut a frag off for a trade, and i didn't really like the way it fragged as skeleton on the disc was very brittle.

I take most of my frags off the discs. I don't like the way they look when I try to incorporate them into the rockwork (not to say you won't spot more than a few in my tank).

Alex, that purple and green favia is sweet. Ade, I really like the first picture of the favia eating and the second picture is even better. Michael R

i really should have taken it off the disc as soon as i got it, and put it onto a rock. the way it grew from the frag to the rock.....was very odd. as the skeleton tried to span a pretty big gap, and thus is very brittle. when i fragged it, i think i killed off a few polyps since i had to use my dremel. as the frag cutters just made the skeleton under the flesh start to crumble.

Any more favias out there?

Paul is that Tyree war coral? Thats were I got my colony from when Chris was there.

 

[Virginia Reef]

I believe it is. I was there when you bought yours. There were 2 other frags at that time. This was one of them. Picked it up several weeks ago.
