Favias are the BOMB!

[RavePartyReef]

Just wanted to express my opinion on how tough favias are....I mean, lowlight, high light, stung, ripped apart, they always find ways to make it back...
It one of those corals that are worth the money spent because they will hang on for as long as possible. For a favia to die in a tank, someone's parameters have to be really bad...mushrooms in my led years bleached on me, but my favias didn't seem to care...
I have a frag that has seen it all, was stung by an acan colony that dropped on it and after looking at the damage, I thought "this one is def be going to the garbage..." But instead it made it back, colored up and now is looking back at me with a "what's up" attitude....
Also, they are gorgeous, with some colors(jawbreaker) that makes them belong to a centerpiece in any tank...
Just wanted to share my appreciation to such a beautiful and tough coral....
Anyone thinks similarly?

Yes - I have had favias survive pH 12.2 water for 6 hours. The kalk overdose killed everything in my tank but not a group of favias and cyphastreas too!

Definitely one of my favs

There are places in the ocean heavily trampled by tourists. Nothing growing in some high traffic areas except algae and Favias. I saw some bigger than basketballs that had large damaged areas on them but the rest was alive and well. People practically standing on them.

My most favorite of corals. Matter of fact just dropped a big ole rock on mine yesterday and she's no worse for ware. Not a mark on her

Yup, had a big snail knock one over on a torch that stung the crap out of it overnight. I was mad because the favia was a Tyree and really cool. I flipped it over, noticed a white spot on about a quarter of it. Went to work, came home expecting to see bare skeleton but to my surprise, the white was gone and it looked fresh as new.

Definitely some of my fav's.
