I am new to LPS. Are these favia looking the way they should be health wise? I’ve noticed some brown hanging on them at times and it blows right off but I’m a little unsure of myself.

They seem okay to me, mostly based on the photo of the fascination favia. The brown is likely algae or diatoms. Just keep taking care of them until they regrow skinny were the brown was. :)

Ok, thanks! I’m getting thrown by reading about the “flesh” on them but I can’t really see much that I would consider “flesh”. At least not like a acan or plate. That’s obvious.
