I have small colonies of favia (or favities), brown
variation taken from the seashore of Florida Keys...
They look nice, dark brown with polyps extending
from the rocky ball of their skeleton...
They are doing fine without target feeding, but
I have heard they could benefit from feeding zooplankton
during night - they hunt plankton with sweeping tentacles.
I have inspected these corals at night with a flashlight
and I have never seen any sweeping tentacles...




I had my favia for over two months befors I saw tentacles extended.
Maybe they're just slow waker-uppers.
