Favia recovery

[karimwassef]

I have a large favia rock that's gone through a lot. I wanted to share that direct administration of Restor has had a lot of benefit.

Here it is a couple of weeks ago

I accidentally injured the side and the top right (white patches)

I tried applying Restor, but I couldn't get to the polyps on the side. I got the top instead...
Here it is at dusk

and here's what it looks now

I don't know if you can tell, but the regions closest to the spot application show the most recovery.

Very nice!
I have one that my LFS was trying to kill. It's doing quite nicely in my tank now.
Matter of fact I hit my LFS weekly, I ask him what he's trying to kill this week and I get them dirt cheap. I enjoy bringing them back.

I do the same - I rescue corals whenever I see them languishing. The pretty ones always get homes, but the ones in trouble need the help.
