Nikde123,

Now that is a cool shot. Nothing looks better than LPS corals under actinic lighting!
Ah Kev, are you admitting defeat? LOL!

Matthew

LOL not now, not after the last few post, those are amazing pieces!!!!!!! I'm still in the game, drooling away as usual at some of these favia, the flood gates have been open for the favia lovers of the World!

That is totally insane looking! WOW!!! the colors are amazing :eek1:

 

[belgian_waffleman]

I'm not sure if this is one. I picked it up from the frag bin in my local LFS. Or could this be a montastrea?

I think it's a Diploastrea heliopora .............. http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/html/101-200/Species pages/134.htm

Thanks SteveOhh,

It really looks like that...It's a bit scary of they can grow that big:eek1:

Luckily they grow slowly upwards ( 3to5mm per year)
Time will tell...

I snapped this picture after this favia killed a monti plate frag that I had growing a little too close... the plate is now just a skeleton about 2 1/2 inches across with 11 little plates growing off the sides......a casualty of war......

closer to real life shot. Friend helped me adjust it.

How can I get a piece of that?

Updated pic of the F. rosaria

 

[ianiwane]

Nice Eric.
Norm, picture came out pretty good. Its probably a bit over exposed (probably my fault). How'd the other shots come out.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Haha, better than I could do.

Hard to get the other pics to work. I'll have to figure out how to un-blue stuff

 

[650-IS350]

Love that piece Eric. Nice

Nikde123,

LOL. Well, I have heard how blue some MH lights can be, guess you proveed it!
Kev:
After the last page, I'd say the floodgates have been blown wide open. I am in shock. I missed one day & the resulting page almost elimanates all the others! Favia rules, but we all know this...
I thought I saw another Baby's breath too, BTW.

Matthew
Sincerely impressed.

 

[Nickde123]
