I saw this Christmas favia at my buddy's shutting down tank so I took it home. It was looking way better under T5 blue plus bulbs. I use coral plus and blue plus so my light color is a lot whiter, anyway here is a snap of it

Here is the tyree war coral which looks like the revert of it but the green color is kind of different a bit

I'm not sure if they're still cool looking but I like them and recently getting on a favia Craze. Here is one that I picked up the other day (Skittles Favia). It'll be here tomorrow. I also have a day glo but it lost the yellow around the eyes. Hoping I can get it to come back.

Favias are one of my favorite type of coral and there are plenty of great looking unnamed frags that don't cost an arms and a leg. Here is an un- named peice that I grew for a while. Unfortunately I lost most of it during a move but it's coming back.

I think favias have the brightest green/yellows of any corals!!! They are on my wish list now. I found all the bright chalices and my dragon soul favia still brighter then all.

Favias are great corals and always will be. Some don't grow real fast and I hate seeing those cut up into tiny pieces that would take decades to grow. Others do grow well and can be fragged but it's hard to know which is which.
