I saw this on LA:

They call it an Aussie War Coral. Somewhere I saw it called favites. Is Favites and Favia the same thing? Is this pic of the same coral as ours? I hope so!

nice score guys! def one of my favourite favias.

dang!......holiday time is a busy time of year.....been a while(for me anyway) since I updated.....


"aussie war" or if you want to call it by the cool designer name, "clash of the titans fav".....favites and favia are the same AND the pic is indeed what we have:wink:

Mine too! feel lucky to have scored a frag......that being said we got a huge one in at the shop just before Xmas.....it was the size of a dinner plate!:surprise:



couple fish updates......I realized that I never mentioned that I got a deep water coral beauty........like three months ago:redface:...................................... ....and I know what I said when I lost my powder brown................but Laurie made me do it!.......I added a powder blue two/three weeks ago............I know.........Im weak.......the thing that made me try again was this PB was at the shop for a couple weeks and he already settled in enough to come and pick at the hair on my arm while I was cleaning his tank......extremely rare that a tang settles in that quick in a lfs environment..... so far he is doing really well.....got my fingers crossed though....

heres a couple invert pics

Doug do you have any scollies in there

no scollys mang.......I wouldnt mind one, but try convincing Kev to bring em in:wink:

I love feature dusters (but you prob knew that), and man that one is a beaut! If you ever tire of admiring it's beauty shoot me a PM :D

Im working on craig to bring them in too :). Last I talked to Kevin he was bragging up some new buddy thats able to bring them in from down under but I still dont see them! Thats okay though the clown tank isnt set up so I gots no room.

I like how this is turning out as well Doug. Those zoanthids you posted sure are nice. I havent seen anything like that before either.

thanks man.....you know, sometimes you find the coolest things on the edges of colonies of other zoas:mrgreen::wink:

Im with you there brochacho......the new feather duster makes three for me, plus I have a red cocoworm........come to think of ot I seem to have a serious weakness for inverts in general......the add on tank is basically all inverts..... Hawaiian feather dusters(2), the coco, small crocea, money cowries(2),pom poms(3), purple porcelain crabs(2).......I doooo love cool critters:biggrin:....obviously my Girly knows that too.....she gave my these two critters as "tank stuffers" too.(have I mentioned she rocks?)
