Can some one ID this?

Can someone ID this favia/favite. It was a hitchhiker that grew into this. Thanks

He is on a stalk with my candy canes, will he grow into a ball like th hat as ND if so, should he be on the bottom and not on the rock work.

They can be pretty much anywhere except the very top, but in my experience they do best on the bottom. He seems to be growing just fine wherever you have it in the tank now though. It will tend to have a half moon appearance. When it gets larger it will probably irritate if not kill your candy cane next to it and if it were me I'd frag the candy cane and put them somewhere else. It doesn't look like they are interfering with each other right now, so maybe give the candy cane some time to get good and healthy before you frag it. The stalk will break pretty easily and you can just glue them to another spot. That has just been my experience. Others may want to chime in if they have other advice. :bounce:

Sounds good, I will keep an eye on them. He is only one stalk of the candy cane and with one head on it. He really is a nice piece and has been doing really well there. Thanks for the help

Also if I place him on the bottom what is his likelihood of forming into a ball. Yours is really nice

I would guess it would grow into a ball too. When I first got this piece it was flat. I've had it two years and it hasn't grown out a lot, just up. lol It also has a lot of flow on it.
