Favia Condition?

[Landoh17]

Hey Guys!

I just got my first two frags! I got a hammer which seems to be doing good and I got a favia as well which I dont know much about. Here is the favia, I am a firefighter on a 48 hours shift at the moment so I'm having someone feed my fish and monitor my tank.

Can I get someone's opinion on the favia? The left head looks a little wonky to me. My reefing friends don't have a ton of experience with favia.

Looks okay to me. Possibly relatively fresh cut, but healing. Definitely not bad...

It looks fine to me. What do you see about it that makes you think something is wrong? They don’t require much care to be honest. A good light is enough for them. I see it’s on the bottom which is where I keep mine. Just make sure sand doesn’t get in it.

Favia look fine . They are pretty easy coral that doesn’t grow that fast .

I'm not sure when it was cut, they just did reefapalooza so its possible it was fresh.

I noticed the one head is not as bright as the other, which could be from a fresh cut as mentioned above. I got a kessil a80 on it. I'm working on moving it to a lower rock edge on my scape. But thank you for the reassurance! It's my first tank and I'm a little paranoid

It’ll heal quickly. But as someone else said, they take forever to grow. I think I have the same one as you (jolly rancher favia maybe?), it has encrusted over the rock only slightly. No new heads for many months now.

Maybe? I don't know what type mine is. LFS didn't know. Someone said a dragon soul but the colors are wrong. It seems to be doing better today!

I have a number of favia. Yours looks fine. They are pretty slow growers. But if it gets settled and happy, the colors should get more intense. Mine seem to like growing over rock. So placing it on a thin flat slab might help.

Thats the plan once its fully acclimated
