TheGooseWhisperer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have a coral that volunteered itself out of a zoa frag. I first noticed some tiny feeders sticking up out of the top of the piece of rock and was considering blasting it assuming it was an apatasia. I ended up letting it go and it got big enough to tell that it was not. Now I'm thinking its a favia. There are 3 polyps now and it seems to me that the flesh is growing down and covering the rock as the polyps enlarge rather than growing up on a skeleton. The lowest 2 polyps are very near a couple zoa polyps and I'm not sure if I should try to "rescue" them with a scalpel and transfer them to a frag plug or if the favia will grow up and not end up overgrowing them. I wish I could get a good picture to show, but my lil cannon powershot refuses to do anything but focus on the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Favia grow like acan, they create their own skeleton and flesh covers that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
