New favia:)

[Ebn]

Just got mine today and loving it right now. Here's a shot of part of mine 10 minutes after dropping it into the tank.

Can't wait to see it puffed up.

Eric, where did you get yours?

I believe the same source as chrisstie, another RC member.

I got mine today and its excellent but I Haven't had a break from my college courses yet to take a good picture but boy howdy it is one of the nicest things ever to grace my tank, ever <3 I love it!

Just to get things straight, who has the Reefready Babys Breath Favia and who has the Tyree Sunburst Favia? Seems like most of you have the tyree sunburst?

 

[Sheol]

I don't care what you call them, these are the prettiest LPS corals I have ever seen. Oh I wish I could get one.
Until that improbable day arrives, more pics please!?

they are the same thing

 

[slojmn]

kigs, they are most definately not the same thing. I have both, Tyree sunburst favia...which is originally from Ron Joncola(who I got my Sunburst favia piece from). The Baby's Breath is Matt's colony at ReefReady.net, originally purchased from Hugo. Hugo posted a pic of that amazing favia in the LPS forum. I Pm'd him about a frag we went back and forth a bit on shipping and all that and then, in the meantime, he sold the entire colony to Matt...Matt honored my deal with Hugo, which Hugo asked him to do(thank you guys) and sold me the first frag off that piece. I have them side by side in my tank...while they are both favias they are different color morphs completely. I will try and snap pictures for you guys of both side by side .

Eric, very nice picture. Looks like you got a nice big chunk of it. Chrisstie, I can't wait to see your ppics . It is defiantely one of the nicest, sweetest, choicest favias out there.

 

[Kigs]

oOo I always thought they were the same. Sorry about that slojmn, I would love to see a side by side shot! I've always wondered what seperates them if they are different.

 

[mikekman]

I knew the sunburst and babys breath were not the same piece but thanks to Alicia for confirming it.

Can't wait to see pics.

 

[er1c_the_reefer]

those favias are looking sweet guys ;P

 

[kev apsley]

I have 3 polyps from Matt at reefready (Thanks Hugo) so that's the one they are calling Babys Breath and the one from Steve via Ron is the Sunburst, truly gorgeous corals regardless

Chrisstie, when you get a break from classes make sure to post some pics...Thanks

 

[The Beaut]

Mine is from Matt. I think Rommel also had some Babies Breath at some time, from Hugo i believe.

 

[Ebn]

Mine is the sunburst with lineage back to Ron Joncola. Anyone have a shot of their baby's breath (Alicia )? Now I'm interested in seeing how they look side by side.

BTW, thanks, Er1c!

Here is a side by side comparison and some individual pics of the Baby's Breath Favia and the LE Sunset Favia.

Side by side: Baby's Breath on the bottom and Sunset on the top.

Pretty sweet Alicia

 

[slojmn]

Thanks Mark..When it gets bigger a frag has your name on it .

 

[chrisstie]

I promise I will post pics this weekend if I get a chance.

I've had other favia but tonight I looked in on this one with my flashlight and its feeder\sweepers were out and it was VERY cool looking. Never saw a favia look quite that way before. I want to get some nigh ttime pics of it like that too.

Also a few people have sent me PMs- sorry if I don't get back to you my school and work schedule is crazy right now. Eric is the one I got the frag from and the other person who sent me a message i'll get back to you soon but can't remember where i know you from <3 thanks for checking in though i appreciate it!
