Favia spot

Snakebit05 · Feb 8, 2019

Been keeping FOWLR for years, and just recently started putting a few Corals in one of my 210 displays. I received a few today from AAF here in Texas and all are looking good, just have one spot on the Aussie dayglo Favia that is a fleshy spot, I’m knowledgeable on water parameters, lighting, flow etc for different corals, been researching for quite sometime before jumping in. I’m just not good with problems or identifying them when they occur. Can some one please let me know if there is a problem or if it’s something due to shipping and will subside in a few days, I’m a proactive kind of guy and don’t like waiting around till it really gets bad, any help would be gladly appreciated.

1st off, welcome to R2R!! You'll like it here.
2nd, it's soft?!?!? Looks like Coraline algae in the pic.
Like another coral was touching it... And lost the fight and Coraline grew there... Soft??
Still gonna a say another coral was on it, but that's life speculation..
I wouldn't worry to much.. just keep an eye..

Also... Gotta know... 210 displays... Two hundred and ten... Displays, or, one of multiple 210 GALLON displays... Either way, impressive...

Welcome to reef2reef man! It looks like it was stung by another coral to me.

Lol worded that a little wrong, I have a few tanks, but it’s in my 210 display that I’m finally getting around to putting some corals in it, i had the Favia a little higher in tank but been reading that they like it lower so moved to sand bed for now, here’s a better look at it up close, I’m just very protective over my fish and if one had something like this they would be straight in quarantine. I just Received in mail this morning so might be jumping the gun, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t serious
