Hello, - I have a question for those with Favia. I was finally able to move my Favia out of a corner to take a closer look. I bought this in late October and it is beautiful - my first one. I put it in a corner away from the others since I read they can get angsty. I do not recall seeing spots until a couple of weeks after it was in the tank. I had hoped it was algae on the glass but there are some dark or brown spots on the side near the glass. Is this from too much light or maybe too close to the glass? My tank parameters look ok right now although I did have a phosphate flurry that the tank recently recovered from. It rose to .47 in November and took weeks to stabilize. So could this have affected it?
Attaching a couple of pics from today from different angles.
On Dec 22, I took some amazing pics of it extending its feeding tentacles I am guessing. How often do they do this? adding that pic too as it was so cool but I have not seen it do that recently.
Readings today: pH 8.1, temp 78, 35ppt salinity, Phosphates .08, Nitrates 4.1, AK 8.8, MG 1400.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
