What kind of corals are these favia and acan?

Jyetman · 12/03/2013, 04:32 PM

Can someone tell me what these are?

Lateralus · 12/03/2013, 05:03 PM

I wanna say Favia on the left and definitely Blastos on the right.

phillrodrigo · 12/03/2013, 05:35 PM

I think there both blastos

Jyetman · 12/03/2013, 05:43 PM

Thanks I wasn't sure if it was acan or blasto. Can these frags stay in this position or are they too close?

doublejhunter · 12/03/2013, 06:03 PM

The one on the left looks more like a trumpet or candy cane to me.

Jyetman · 12/03/2013, 06:14 PM

I was told when I bought it from LFS the one on the left is a favia. The second frag from the same store different sales guy didn't know what the one on the right was he said some brain but now I know a blasto.

Lateralus · 12/03/2013, 07:22 PM

If that's a favia it can put the smackdown on the blasto in time.

Even if the current flow doesn't allow contact to blasto?

They put out stinging tentacles at night. This is where the damage happens.

Blasto on the right, the left looks more like a candy cane as well to me at least from the shot.

hogfanreefer · 12/06/2013, 09:52 PM

Should be able to tell by checking it out at night. Candy Cane will have a ring of moderately long tentacles. My favia has a single stinger tentacle per mouth.

Looks like a blue trumpet on left and definitely a blasts on the right

njdevilsfan · 12/07/2013, 01:14 AM

Btw move those apart asap one on left is gonna kill it blasts soon

betamed · 12/07/2013, 07:28 AM

Favia and blasto. I think favia a side shot would confirm.

thats a trumpet on the left and blasto on the right. I have the one on the left in my tank!

Lateralus · 12/07/2013, 09:44 PM

At the OP. Simple way to tell the difference. If the tissue at the polyps are connected, favia. If they are separate stalks, trumpet.

mixedreefjunky · 12/07/2013, 11:44 PM

I've made small trumpet frags that connect by tissue between heads, so hard to say on a lil frag like that.

Favias encrust. There is clearly a shadow on the plug under that trumpet
