A whole bunch of corals are no longer Favia. What do you think about the breakup in naming convention?

Man I was having a BAD Friday!! Like really bad. Then Than comes along with his golden voiced narration and gorgeous video and I am back to normal. I don’t even care to keep these particular corals but anything put out by TG is watched as soon as it comes out! I learned a lot thanks Than. I swear if the farming ever gets old Discovery channel needs to scoop you up for some coral docs.

I had no idea how hard it would be to find perfect heads of these years later. These were the cheaper corals in the store tanks and now if I see a perfect specimen its either not for sale or priced like gold. Its gone from heads to chips but the prices have tripled. Thumbnail frags and single polyp sales are the new rave. What a difference 10 years has made. Everything has saw marks on it now. Coral are cut thinner than ghetto cocaine. One thing is for sure. No more risk taking. One or two specimens at a time.

Great video! If you do another one, I’d be interested in your take on the sweeper tentacles. The stings are strong and sweepers are long. Might want to mention when it comes to placement?

Great video. Favia are an underrated coral for sure. The longer I am in reefing the more I appreciate this coral. Honestly when you have them grow into large colonies they are quite impressive. In fact I believe all of my favia came from tidal gardens

Yes, they are underrated. At least until they became hard to get. Its strange how corals pop into popularity so suddenly along with their tripling price tags.

My Acropora Nasuta is named Hello Kitty and its growing a base. I have Pinky the Bear, Banana Boy Blue, Mojo Man, etc. At first I found it silly but now I think its cute. I made a planting map to remember what is what in case of success. Now, if the colors morph into something different, can I make a name too or does it have to be a first culture? Dolly the Sheep Platygyra, Prickly the Pear Pavona, Ivan the Acan (red and not popular for the moment). The top of the price list was Homewrecker. I should have taken a piece. I'm having a 100% growing, no loses so far. My Scary Canary is turning more yellow everyday. I think the names were inspired by coffeeshops in the Netherlands. Purple Paletta, Blueberry Fields, Strawberry Haze, Afghan Kush...some smokin' corals.

The prism, reverse prism, and dragon soul might actually be dipsastraea rosaria, not coelastrea. The only ones that I know for sure are coelastrea are the splatter goniastreas.
