How about some pics of your favites/favia/favid!!

[salt newbie01]

I think these corals are so cool looking I would really like to see some pics of the different types. I would also like to know who feeds there favites and if so what. I just got one which is purple with green centers - I want to make sure I can get it healthy again. A frogspawn was stinging it and caused some recession and some of the heads look "thin." There is some die off on one side but other than that I believe it is healthy - color is good no slim on it or anything else. There are possibly 40-55 "good" heads or polyps it.

Thanks in advance

Very nice piece! Have you had it long?

I am still having a difficult time telling them apart - which type is this - I noticed the "ridges" of each polyp are not shared - the one I have they are shared between connecting polyps.

Thanks! I've had it about 6 months. It was traded to me as an acan lord, obviously i've had a hard time telling them apart as well!! LOL

I'm still not sure if this is some kind of favities or a mico..
At feeding time..

This how it looks most of the day.

Here are a couple of mine, I have one more that is multi colored but I can't get a good picture of it...

Those are great pics everyone! Does anyone target feed these corals or do you just let them get food from the water column?

I will try to post a pic of mine tonight or tomorrow. I have yet to see feeders on it. I am starting to worry about it.

The feeders on mine come out at night when the lights go off. During the day it stays mostly closed up. I will try to post some pics. tonight when I get home.

Here's my Platygyra sp. and Faviites sp.

I just picked up a frag of one i've been eyeing a long time

 

[salt newbie01]

Here is one I just got. A frogspawn was laying against it and caused some dye off around the lower edge and there are some "thin" spots on the colony, I hope it will come back.

We have over 30 faviids in one of our 58s, needless to say we're addicted to them.

We have many more new ones I need to get pics of. Might have to do that today...

[salt newbie01]

with these corals do you have to get each polyp to feed or if some eat does it feed the whole colony?? This new one I got is only extending a few feeders at night from a few polyps. I'm worried it is not doing good. It has only been in the tank for 4 days - maybe it needs more time to adjust??

Sweet corals everybody.
