Thanks greech, at night when it deflates it looks like a melted scoop of ice cream. No skeleton on this puppy Sheol, it is that white. These piks are when the lights had just came on, it still inflates more. I will post more piks later when it is fully inflated.

colors and textures
My xmas favia lived through my last great learning experience (maintain those sandbeds!) that took out essentially all my acans, my few chalices, a trachy and a scoly. Thinking about it, all my faviids survived. Their beauty is just about matched by their hardiness.

I get that you asked 'prestigious', but it boils down to true beauty always has been and always will be in the eye of the beholder.
Chris,
Each of those things is a treasure! Great collection! If I ever (Curse curse swear swear) get my (curse curse swear swear) nitrates under decent control, I'm going to rebuild my Favia collection. From scratch..
But the only hard coral that survived the heater malfunction ( It killed a Rhodactis 'Shroom that essentially poisoned my entire 36-gallon reef) was my red-purple Favia. And a couple of coralites from my Xmas Favia. But they never fully recovered, sadly. Still, it shows they can be incredibly tough in tank crashes..

Reefing since '93
Oops, I have had it for 3 1/2 years. Bought it Jan 10, 2008.
Jan 11, 2008:
Nov 14, 2010 (2 years 10 months growth):
Last January the coral suffered from what I believe was probably Black Band Disease that I think came in on an Australian Maze Brain, and I had to cut off about 1" all the way around the edge. Such a shame.

Thank you Mathew. Some of those are favias I have saved from LFS that seem to rebound in my tank quite quickly. I'm sure when you get the peramiters in your tank in check it should come back.
Thank You
