Favia Show Off Thread

Nice Kong. Do you have a pic of the colony? From that pic, it looks more like a Cyphastrea rather than a Favia.

yeah, right? good call Kenny!

It could be, but I'd like a wideview shot of the whole colony before I'd say it wasn't a Favia. After all, on the Coral Search ID page, I saw about 40-50 different Favia species alone. LOL.

Everyones got such awesome looking corals. Here's a couple of mine.

Not sure about this one, I think it might be a favia anyone care to take a stab at it?

Well, that kind of ID is way over my head...

I dont really have any other photos of use.. the one I pasted was the best one.. That was a pic on the first day I got it (over 2 years ago). Here is a wider shot from that same day: http://www.d3f.org/misc/fish/90g/60-xmas-favia.jpg

Here is one showing it a couple months ago, however, and you can see how dense the mouths became since when I first got it.. http://www.d3f.org/misc/fish/90g/a13-right-side.jpg

Shortly afterw that last pic something afflicted my tank, and I lost 1/2 of my SPS, and my LPS began to receed.. not sure what it was, but I think I have slowed down some of it... needless to say, I lost about 1/2 of this favia.. very sad as it's my favorite.

King-Kong - The other photo's you linked to, especially the first one, seems to really be the Cyphastrea rather than a Favia as pookstreet pointed out. It's a really nice piece of Cyphastrea as well!

[Jabol75]
