Medusa's Nebula favia

[dwebb1031]

I've totally got to get a better pick. Got this pretty sweet favia morph, in better lighting it's orange red yellow swirl main body with metallic green speckles almost like it was dusted with glitter. Named it after the medusa nebula cause that's what it reminds me of. Only familiar with two current frags of this morph.

Little better

very nice piece! look up the LTR Hellbender Favites it reminds me of that except the hellbender has yellow specks instead of green and is darker during white light. ALL IN ALL I CALL FIRST FRAG OF THAT!

Nice thanks, and it's starting to grow out so I'm hoping to drag in the next few months

I can see some similarity maybe one morphed from the other

I am the one who named the Hell bender so I doubt the medusas nebula originates from the hellbender. What is the origin of this piece?

 

[Tanked_Life]

besides this is a favia, the hell bender is a favites

I got it from one of my lfs, not sure where it came from prior but he told me it looked different from what he ordered to what I bought was completely different. Same piece it just changed that much. He made two frags one he took home the other was the one I bought. He didn't have a name so I named it.

That's awsome! Make sure to keep track of who you frag too, that's a keeper

 

[dwebb1031]

Yea for sure thanks for the input. I'm new to "new" corals

 

[Tanked_Life]

Haha np i had a very big collection of Favia/ favites so if you need to know ANYTHING I probly know it

 

[dwebb1031]

Sweet I'll keep that in mind, btw best fragging method. I inadvertently fragged a war coral I had but I just relocated and grew new pieces from the base that was left. Cool thing is some of the polyps on its frags have turned from green to orange.

 

[Tanked_Life]

May I see a picture!?

 

[dwebb1031]

Of? The orange polyps. If so yes the fragged that had the most I gave to a friend I'll see if I can get a good angle on the other. They're not as prominent but they are shifting.

 

[dwebb1031]

This isn't the greatest but you can see it a bit here

Compared to the main colony

These are back from September playing around with camera settings. I'll try to get you some updated when I get home from work.

 

[Tanked_Life]

That is crazy!
