I'm not speaking for what Chris has on these but here are some specs on them

Genus:
Favia

Common Species

F. favus
F. matthaii
F. pallida
F. stelligera

Common Names
Moon Coral, Green Moon Coral, Pineapple Coral, Brain Coral, Star Coral.

Notes

Prefer bright lights, however will tolerate much lower levels.
Will tolerate a gentle current.
Some Favia will attach to substrate if not moved for several months.
Favia can be fed and seem to appreciate a squirt or two of brine shrimp at night
Care should be taken with placement, as they can send out transparent sweeper tentacles at night.
Considered by many to be an easier coral to keep.

Thanks Al! needed to know that

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 05:12 PM

As for this favia:
The are fine in all light.
Actually they were brown when I got them and I forgot about them and they were in total dark for about 6 weeks thats when they got their amazing color.

They do like the high light and have brighter color but have richer color in lower light. If that makes sense....

I have NEVER seen sweepers on these.

They have never eaten.

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 05:13 PM

HORNETS GONE

3 pending payment.

I don't have this favia (YET) but the ones I do have have small "tentacles" just after lights out (I've usually just fed) and then later on you can see much longer more pronounced SWEEPERS. I've found the best way to view them is to shine a flashlight across them from the side. The tentacles really show then.

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 05:34 PM

Trust me I have looked and looked. I WANT TO FEED Them (they will grow faster) but I have never seen them in over a year

twoclowns · 10-30-2009, 06:19 PM

I have had a xmas favia for over 2 years and for the first time about a month ago I saw its feeder tentacles when I added some cyclopeeze to feed my other corals. So sometimes they just take a really long time to adjust to captive life. How long have you had the favia for? thanks Keith

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 10:11 PM

about a year

psiconauta · 10-31-2009, 12:46 AM

ckusnierek · 10-31-2009, 02:04 PM
