Moon coral. Favia
wow, it is very stunning, do you know of anyone in jhb that could have maybe ? i will post a wanted request later ...
one of the very nice things on this forum is having people like you who know the differences with things like this, thanks for the posts aboveNice piece Brandon. Sorry but your pet shop is incorrect. It is very easy to tell the diff between the two species.
i got it right woohooHi ZeroCool, yip I have a nice colony. It’s actually a LPS coral. It’s not a Favia species as states above, but rather a Favites species. The main characteristic difference being that Corallites share a common wall with Favites whereas Favia do not.
Jaco your LPS piece is a Pavona species.

Everyone that see this coral asks if its fake. It looks awesome. These photo's dont give the lumo green the right colour at all. Actinic makes all the difference is its look.
