So the Pot of Gold is a morph of the Baby's breath Favia? I'm starting to get a faint headache. LOL
Dancing4raiin: SWUEEET!

BTW: What did Jose' say that Favia was? Oh well, everything he shows us is ALWAYS spectacular. That is no exception.

recent aquire: LE Pot of Gold Baby's Breath Favia This is the mother colony I could only afford 3 heads haha.

Weird that looks different from all the pot of gold frags that I have seen. Maybe different conditions.

I love corals and all but that Cutty in your avatar is SWEET! I have a 1970 Supreme myself. By far my favorite of the Muscle car era.

Thanks. That was the last of 7 different Olds I owned, all 68-72. I miss all of them!

Thanks Marc. I've passed up on some other favia frags because in my 29 there's not much room so I have to be picky on which ones I do want but when I saw this for $15 i had to pick it up.

Nope very different infact. In my tank the pots of gold is more yellow vs pink and is more fleshy than the babbies breath as well.

Got this frag from Jose Casa

Its suppose to look like this but i dont know how to use my camera very well.

N ice thats the red revolver and It has grown very nicely for you.

Lowincwrx: Call that the Red Carpt Favia! You could make it an LE. LOL Beautiful piece for a super price!
Ok, so they are two entirely different corals, maybe even species? I've seen a slight resemblence. Oh well, I'd rather not have two varieties to lust over. I'll just continue to covet the Baby's breath.

just got this sparkly guy

I have a nice colony exactly like this one. It is slowly becoming one of my favorite

 

[Sheol]

What species is that? Does anyone know?

Matthew

 

[zeppelin]

Looks like favites pentagona to me.

 

[Sheol]

Yeah, I think your right. I don't really see any true seperation of the corralites on it. That sparkle effect is really attractive!

[atf72]

Really like the way this one is coming along.....

 

[Reefman79]

I love the Favia.

 

[Sheol]

atf72: I really like that one. Reminds me of strawberries on the plant, subtle but beautiful.
