Hey Andy, how far away from other corals are you keeping the favias? I've been wanting to get some but read they will sting other corals with long sweepers....

I like to keep my favias on the sand bed but have the frag glued to a big disc or solid type of surface. This way they get a fast hold on a solid surface and if need be I can move them around where ever. Also they seem to grow a more spherical shape than encrust on the rock work some where. Some times YES they can send out some pretty nice sweepers but I don't see this very often and when I do it's at night after a heavy feeding. For the most part having them 2" away from each other seems to be a safe bet. After about a hour or two after the lights go off observe your favias and note what you see.

Thank you very much!! Im not too sure on the thickness of the sump, maybe quarter inch but that would be just a guess.
