I'm starting a favia collection, and I'm trying to decide the best way to display mine. I'd love to see some inspiration photos of your favia gardens if you have them!

Can you keep a Favia Garden? The stingers on mine are super long and thought they would sting each other if too close.

Favia don’t make good neighbours do they ? I really like Favia and Favites and would love to make a garden, but keeping them next to anything sounds like a night out at the Iroquois hotel kapow!

Hmm... apparently they can sting each other. I've had them pretty close to each other without problems so far, but my idea of a favia garden might be a pipe dream.

So...new question. You guys who collect them, do you just have them around the tank in different spaces? What's your favorite way to display your favias?

Mine seem to do good anywhere in the tank. Every now and then I check my tank out around 3am to make sure they are not close enough to sting anything.
