Sorry for the blurry pic. It was sold to me as a favia. Old pic, since the picture was taken the eyes has turned deeper purple, and the outer walls more green under 150W 14K

... or Lepthastrea sp. ... maybe. Is this Aussie??

does look like a favia of sorts.....but a very odd/uncommon one at that!

I highly doubt that it's an Aussie, it came from a crappy LFS. I don't know much about LPS, but it does look a bit diffeent from my other favias. A friend suggested Montastrea?

favia maritima?

about how big are the corralites?

 

[twon8]

im pretty sure it's not a montastrea.

The biggest "head" is size of a nickel, smallest dime sized. I looked at the maritima, and the coralites seem a bit bigger but my colony could be still maturing.
