That is a nice one Slick, even if it isn't one of these insance psychedelic ones. All Favia are sweet corals in my book.

So Grisha,
You found out where Kevin disappears periodicall before returning with some LPS or SPS that blows us all away. You say its an LFS do you? Funny, I was begining to think it was a lonely crossroads somewhere out in the country! LOL>

[rcypert]

Here is one of mine that is trying to reproduce asexually. It has been like this for months.

Looks like its trying to grow a trunk. How odd.
Well Santa did not bring me a digital camera ( though I got a bunch of nice stuff). I'm just going to have to splurge.

Kev,
My newest Favia colony has gone from red to brown & now is turning orange. I'm just crossing my fingers that it will develop into one of these keepers. Hopefully by then, I'll have a way to take its pic..

Grisha,
I couldn't quite understand your reply up there. Either you had WAY too much Eggnog last night, or you were interrupted while posting. Could you clarify that last sentence?

Awesome! get some pics on here as soon as you feel it's ready

 

[kev apsley]

rcypert,
Waaay cool! keep us updated with some more pics!

 

[Sheol]

Kev,

Well, it looks quite similar to that one trying to bud right up there. Except the polyps are going orange. As I said I got my fingers crossed. I'm guessing they ( & King Kongs back several pages) are all the same species. Whichever one that is.
Back to the search page!

Well, when I actually GET a digital Cam, sure thing!

 

[amutti]

Here is mine. I've grown it from about 5 heads . . .

[Sheol]

Very, very nice amutti. I totally agree with Jose'.

[kev apsley]

really nice! nice and puffy with good coloration!!

 

[Sheol]

Well, I have two possible Id's on my newest Favia ( & a number of the ones pictured here lately).
F. speciosa & F. Fragum are the likeliest suspects, but that could be wrong. All I know for sure is mine is the same species King Kong has ( & was the same color at the start).
