What type of Favia?

wayneb · Dec 31, 2009

I purchased this a year or so ago and it seemed to do well for a while but slowly I've noticed the edges turning a grey color. I can't find anything this color so I'm not sure what it really is. Any help with classification or care is much appreciated. I was told once that b/c of the lighter color it didn't like strong light, but I'm not sure how true that is. Most favia I have read about are found in shallower water?

Some favia don't like the light. I bet it would color up quite a bit in the shade.

Thanks for the suggestions. I moved it down to the bottom and it seemed to color up in not time. Became much darker and seemed to respond more to feedings. I'll upload a new pic as soon as I get a chance. Thanks again.
