very nice! It's rare to see nice favias in my neck of the woods. Heck....only one LFS really stocks nice LPS for decent prices. I might have to take a shopping trip over tho the west coast one of these days.

At one time, I was in the military, so I got to travel around and see what is out there. I picked up quite a few really cool things for my tank(s), but when I settled back down in my home town....well....I've been a little depressed.

When I first started in the hobby my friends were like.....OH MAN! come check this coral out! You have got to take home a piece of this! If it grows good for you....hit me back!

Now it seems to be like some friggin competition.....Oh this coral is way cooler than yours, and I'll never tell where I got it from, and if you want a piece....that'll be your left arm...and your first borne.

I guess all good things end up there eventually......it's still a bit depressing!

hello people.
here's a decent picture of a decent favia...
hope you like!

 

[melev]

Yes - I do like it: that is a beautiful coral and a great picture.

 

[HammerDude33]

thanks. it's not my picture taking, that's for sure. the fog is gunk on the bottom of the glass.
i did use the "sharpen" feature before i resized it though, but i think it looks better in person.

Nice pieces everyone.

HammerDude33,
Well you said it. Decent pic of a REALLY decent Favia. I hope I can get as nice a pic of one of mine (next week, maybe?)

These all look like Platygyra's to me, especially the first one.

Ambystoma82,

Those are some seriously nice Favias there!
BTW, are you an amphibian lover? Just wondering from your handle, LOL.
