Favia ID please?

Hi all,

I picked this favia up as a no name because the colors just stood out as exceptional. Any idea which it is? It sort of looks like a Christmas but there's more colors in it than the pics I've seen online. Thanks!

I have found out that a lot of favias, if you don’t purchase it knowing the name you’ll never get a 100% id. There’s so many morphs, types, colorations it’s unreal. Here’s what my Christmas favia looks like :)

I will say that is beautiful coloration and feeder tentacles you got there

Favia can change color drastically depending on the tank theyre in. I had a red and blue one turn cream red and teal. I had a green and yellow one turn purple and neon green. Basically, designer names shouldn't matter much because their appearance can vary by tank. Its a gorgeous and hungry favia. :)

Thank you both. As I come up on a year in this hobby I'm learning some inalienable truths like this about names. The only reason I really care is to be able to keep track of what I have. Your Xmas Favia is definitely not what I have but it's a nice one!

What did the store call it when you bought it? Just favia? You can always give it your own name! ;)
