Peace Coral? (Pic)

Darren · Aug 25, 2008

Bought this a few months back as a "Peace" coral. I do not know much about Favias and just wanted to see what you think. Thanks.

I think it's beauty, I have been searching high and low for a frag of it lmk when your ready to frag it I might have something you want? The Mummy Eye and Watermelon are gorgeous too!

Thanks FF. This is growing pretty fast. It is encrusting down the plug to the LR below.

Definately NOT peace coral.

Nice, but not peace. Thats commonly known as Christmas favia.

peace is green base, with BRIGHT purple mouths.

the reeffarmers pic is terrible.

I could be wrong, but thats my opinion anyways.

i could have sworn the peace coral was green with pink center
green with purple is kongs eye not peace
christmas is green with red
that kind of looks like it to me

everything ive ever seen as peace coral has been green with purple. not saying im right, just what ive been told.

ask Marv. He bought a colony as peace coral, and i think his is green with purple too...

MARV WHERE ARE YOU?? CHIME IN BUD!

Thanks. Looks like there are several "variations" of this. Mine looks similar to a few of the PICS.

Thats the one. I see on most of those as beeing a bright purple more than a pink. But thats what it looks like.

thanks for the link hopkins.

better late than never... the Peace coral that I have and have sold/traded has lineage to Raptor.. I don't think it's related to any other big name Peace... a colony of this favia was purchased about 3 years ago and Raptor got half of it... the other half died so Raptor was pretty much the only one that had a frag.. he gave me a piece and waynesreef... IMHO, the version that we have is much nicer and brighter than some of the other versions I've seen.. here's a few pics of the one I have... I know a few big name reefers/online vendors have gotten a hold of a frag of this through either a trade/sale...
