Favia Tentacles!

[TheReeferer]

Got a Favia today and now the lights are out, the tentacles extend! My specimen is only about 2 in. in diameter but damn some of these tentacles are 2 inches long!

Amazing for 1st night! I'm not sure it's my amazing water quality or that Marine Snow stuff. :bounce3:

Many corals will put out their sweeper tentacles at night in an act of self defense. Its a cool sight to see definitely :)

Get some pics....I haven't seen my favia tentacles out at all

I've had 2 inch favias put out 4 inch sweepers! They are also good for food capture, not just defense.

I'll try to take some tonight but here is another pic, not mine:

It's like that, thin, clear with white tip. Some of mine are short, like .5 cm.

Keep other corals well out of the favia's reach!
