Cool favia. Who is z btw. I see that you have a lot of his pieces
Thanks. Z is perhaps the best reef farmer that I have ever seen. He has an intuitive sense with SPS and manages to pull the most amazing colors and growth. He is my 5 year old grandson. I started naming corals in response to a vendor purchasing some of my frags and naming it. I thought that was kind of crazy, so I thought I would name some of my more unusual coral. Like many of us in the hobby for a long time, we all develop different sources for finding exceptional coral and occasionally I end up with the only known frag survivor of something that is really pretty. I first started naming corals as a kind of tongue in cheek response to the craziness of names but my names stuck, so...
Z's Yellow Eyed Jawdropper ------- Grows super slow but has really pretty colors and yellow polyps
Z's Favorite --------- This is being shaded by a 6 inch diameter colony of JF Flame and so I have been trimming back the offending colony. You can see the color developing on the branches now getting some light vs the green shaded portion.
