LPS ID?

[Gomer]

I got this guy from Robert a few months back and at the time we had no ID on it. A couple months ago, it got into a fight with a scoly and lost It's fully recovered now, but I now have a skeletal photo which may help with an ID.

Feeding

I'll see if I can get as sweeper image (it is similar to above, but they are huge. Not gallaxia huge, but 4" long (and maybe longer). They don't hurt the sculy (just angers it) but hurts a duncan)

Favia?

 

[Gomer]

Thanks J. I'm not sure how big favia's get, but the heads on this are acan lord sized.

Can't Favia spp. heads get just as large as A. lordhowensis? My Prism Favia has pretty large polyps ... largest polyps of any of Favia or Favites I have

Yep, Favias can have large heads, Favities are usually much smaller.

I have a couple that are pretty large. Some of the prisms and that I got it before Ian favia come to mind.

Pretty sure they are calling prism and reverse prism (favias) goniastreas now.
