Anyway, I'll rebuild my hard coral collection. Still, almost 4.5 years, now this. Sigh.. This hobby can kick you in the gonads & laugh at your pain. For sure...

Yeah it can be tough sometimes. I hope you're able to salvage some stuff. A total loss is hard to stomach.

Reeferland · 01/05/2010, 01:07 AM

where did you guy find such a gem like these wish my local fish store carry them

Sheol · 01/05/2010, 06:18 PM

But it does leave lots of room for new additions in LPS.
Taking the most positive view, while the new cycle commences.

Cool...thanks.

Sheol · 01/08/2010, 06:13 PM

A note of slight intrest: My sole surviving hard coral is a Favia.
I'm begining to think my C. argi had gone Sith on me. Favia seem very hardy before in my tank, & surviving a tank crash proves it.
Another point in their favor!

Why aren't you resizing these pictures to something userfriendly like 800x600? Each image is a 4.25 meg attachment.

Upload your images to a free site like Photobucket.com and you can link them here on RC in your posts using the IMG tags. Then you can have up to 10 images in a post.

livenow · 01/09/2010, 11:06 PM

If I knew what I was doing it would help, I,m lucky to post text and not screw it up.

soccerbag · 01/09/2010, 11:36 PM

Took a couple of pics tonight with my spanking new Top Down box....thanks Melev!!! This thing is awesome!

Got this from Rommel (calls it Sprinkles Favia - not sure if it is but's it's nice)

Galaxy Favia (had for about 2 weeks - still coloring up)

SDguy · 01/09/2010, 11:41 PM

My oldest favia (3 years or so):

Aknies · 01/10/2010, 01:59 PM

When Favia's are fragged. What is the normal healing time on these?

Darth Reefer · 01/11/2010, 09:08 AM

Here's what I have for now.

I'll have to get another pic when the lights come on. My baby's breath isn't in that pic.

Peter(SDSguy): WOW! I wanna frag of that! love it!
Livenow: And that red with blue centers is also breathtaking!

Truly astounding Favia coming in now, keep it up guys!

Matthew

livenow · 01/11/2010, 08:30 PM

The pics I took were about 4 hours after I placed in qt tank the colors are a little better now. I will not be fragging anything soon only until I run out of room and I cannot see that happing any time soon but thanks for the bump. The favia was purchased from same lfs about 3 months ago they have been getting some nice stuff.

livenow · 01/11/2010, 08:38 PM

The qt tank is 150 gallon stock tank.

rkb · 01/12/2010, 03:40 PM

Just got a new favia the other day, not sure what it is called but the eyes are a iridescent pink and the outer areas are iridescent as well with teal and grey. It's tough to see back in my reef and my camera sucks-

Sheol · 01/12/2010, 06:17 PM

That is really different, but it is a bit hard to see. But my pics weren't any better, so I cannot complain. Still, it would look better up front! LOL

Yeah, but I would say that the favia is well represented in my reef. They are very beautiful corals and I love all four of my colonies.
