Ordered my CUC from Whitlyn Aquatics and a Sapphire damsel. They did not have a damsel left so I told them to pick a random frag and they sent me this WA Peeps Gonoastrea.

Crazy I have almost all of the highend favias, been collecting them for close to a decade. Never seen one quite like this

WWC has one called Fantasmo that looks like this. I have a piece but I think I have it in too high light

That’s a Dipsastraea (ex-Favia), not a Goniastrea. True Goniastrea are actually pretty rare in the hobby, as most specimens have pretty dull coloration.

I just knew that a lot of them were reclassified

I'm a sucker for these corals and it seems like no one has made one of these yet. I think they're so incredibly under appreciated for the amount of color they provide to the reef and how easy they tend to be to grow!
Make sure to post your pics and names of your pieces in this thread too!
