My pleasure! I really enjoy looking at all the eye candy!
nice pieces by the way my friend!
Al,
No, I looked at it again. Actually it varies all over the thing, just very strongly in two. Look closely & its subtly shaded different colors.
Too bad our debate is irrelevant since he no longer has it! <Sigh>

Wow, Meleev actually posted in this thread. We hit the big time now! LOL.
Beautiful piece, but is it an Acan or a Favia pretending to be an Acan?

Wishintobeoutside,
That IS the reddest Favia I've ever seen? Where did you get that?

that piebad.. multicolored morph favia is sick. i have never even thought a favia could have so many colors on a singel rock, regardless if that was one colony or not. that is crazy.
melev. if anyone esle would have posted that i would call it an acan, from the first pic. very nice
Sheol, the red favia. heart and soul. came in a transhipment from flores. honestly the picture is horrible. i need to move it to get a betterpic. i treid to photoshop it and every time it came out worse so i left it without editing.
maybee i should put it this way. my gf of 4years broke hmm kicked me to the curb right before our aniversary. tore my heart and soul out left it to dry, and now i am left with this great coral to remember her by. thats is probably why it is hmm blackend=). maybe to much info but oh well.
i have another red favia that i will shoot a picture to compare it with.

So what you are saying is that the four sections ALL have some marbling that is different from each other section? That actually makes it harder to believe that it is one coral. Gresham has probably seen more coral in one year than most of us will see in our entire lives and I too have seen lots of wild corals at lots of different wholesalers. It's true that Favia rocks do come in on a regular basis with multi colonies on the same rock. Right now I have a Blasto that has three different colonies that have grown together. They aren't killing each other at this point but one may overgrow another if I leave them like that. I take care of a customers aquarium that has two Psammocora colonies on the same rock. They used to live together peacefully with no killing but after about 6 months, one of the colonies starting growing up and over the other. It happens all the time. This conversation may not be that relevant to the thread because the coral isn't around anymore but it is always fun to learn as much as possible about the corals. I mean this is our hobby. I really think if you ask some of the people that have been around for a long time in the industry they will tell you that they have seen rocks very similar to that one many times.
Easy to have one of those in your tank. Buy four different Favia frags and put them on a rock. A few months down the road and it will look like that.

Guys I don't know if that favia was made by God or Man, i just know i bought it that way and it was beautiful and impressive. And it started dying for no good reason...so maybe one part WAS killing another part...which would prove it was different colonies...but if you saw the piece up close and personal you couldn't actually witness any manhandling in its making...so....i just hope i find another one......that would be pure luck!!!

Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to say that a person made that rock. Just that someone could. Your's probably came out of the ocean that way. I try to be funny and look what it gets me. Oh well I guess I should drop it at this point anyway. Either you see that they are starting to grow over each other or you don't.
Wishntobeoutside,
You mean you didn't brighten it up just a little? The color on that thing is insane. This particular coral wasn't the cause of the big breakup by any chance..
Who cares with a beauty like that.
Matthew
Your REAL friends will stick around as long as there are possible frags in the future. Actually, I already lost my arm & leg. Oh well..

Sheol.
i moved the coral yesterday to take a better pic. i dont think i photoshoped that one. i am still playing with my new camera lense so that is hard enough for me to figure out.
lost an arm and leg. i just hope that was a figure of speech. =)
pm me your email address i will send you my album for some pics not posted.
