Favia?

[pookstreet]

This came as a hitchhiker on a rock of zoas. I thought it was kinda interesting so I fragged it off. At first I thought it was a Favia of some sort. But it grows faster than any Favia I have ever owned and it seems to be fleshier. Each mouth appears to be separate and gets up to maybe 1/2" each. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

Looks like a Lord to me.

Wow, what a hitchhiker.

They kinda look like lords or Micros. The only reason I didn't say lord initially is b/c the polyps sizes are on the smallish side, no more than 1/2" each. So my best guesses are either Favia or Micros of some kind.

Hmmm not an aussie lord?? I have some aussie lords that are mirco sized.

Nope, not Aussie. I know what you mean about some of the Aussie lords having tiny polyps. I got these before the whole Aussie craze. Not sure of the origin though, could be Indo or the Solomons.
