irshprncsk Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have a Favia Brain that has the potential to be wonderful, it was wonderful when I got it, but it is slowly dying in my tank. I think I just don't have enough light for it. It has a tiny barnacle that lives in it and I love him, so I hope he makes the journey to a new tank. The color of this guy is pretty good and he does glow under a moonlight. Since the tissue has receded about 50% on this guy but he is definitely savable and an awesome shape (1/2 a tennis ball) I'd like to get $20 for him if I can. I will post pics when I can. I'm also going on vacation next week so I may be hard to get ahold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm interested, would like to see pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irshprncsk Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Here are some pics. Yes, I know the anemone is not helping the situation, but I can't get under him to scrape him off and move him without breaking the epoxy that's holding the brain on.

irshprncsk Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 bump. Want to get this guy to a better home please. Will take $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irshprncsk Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Ok, I will take $7... please save him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you were closer I would have jumped on it originally. But I can't get down to Eugene right now, and don't want to shock it anymore by shipping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Where are you located? I could come and get him tomorrow. Did he decline much further from what the pics show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I would have come by but i'm afraid my tank isn't in any condition to save a coral at this time :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyfish Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 what is the current status? I will be down in Eugene this weekend if you still need a good home for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irshprncsk Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 For those familiar with UO, I live on the southeast side of campus on Columbia. PM for address. I should be home tomorrow (Tuesday) after 7 pm for anyone that wants to come get him. I think he has receded a bit more but not much. The barnacle is still alive.

irshprncsk Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sorry, my wireless has not been working for the last 2 days - had to find a hotspot to check this. I'll be home this week after 7 pm. I've replied to one PM so hopefully he'll get that home. I'll post again if he's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siskiou Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just an update: after not being sure for a long time, it now looks like the brain has stabilized and is starting to "fatten up" a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 How bout some pics??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irshprncsk Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 I'm very glad he's doing better. I recently changed the bulb in my tank and added another actinic fixture - it made a HUGE difference. I think he just wasn't getting the right light in my tank. Hopefully he'll fill back out again. It liked to eat brine shrimp, don't know if you tried that, or cyclopeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
