Living legend grows a giant selection of corals and actually provides information on them.youre the only guy I know to go in depth for so many corals keep up the good work💪
tidal gardens is the best. thanks so much for this video! I've been working at a salt water shop for 5 years and have been so confused on the favia types for awhile now. so I appreciate your help a ton!
Man I was having a BAD Friday!! Like really bad. Then Than comes along with his golden voiced narration and gorgeous video and I am back to normal. I don’t even care to keep these particular corals but anything put out by TG is watched as soon as it comes out! I learned a lot thanks Than. I swear if the farming ever gets old Discovery channel needs to scoop you up for some coral docs.
Great video! If you do another one, I’d be interested in your take on the sweeper tentacles. The stings are strong and sweepers are long. Might want to mention when it comes to placement?
I had no idea how hard it would be to find perfect heads of these years later. These were the cheaper corals in the store tanks and now if I see a perfect specimen its either not for sale or priced like gold. Its gone from heads to chips but the prices have tripled. Thumbnail frags and single polyp sales are the new rave. What a difference 10 years has made. Everything has saw marks on it now. Coral are cut thinner than ghetto cocaine. One thing is for sure. No more risk taking. One or two specimens at a time.
Great video. Favia are an underrated coral for sure. The longer I am in reefing the more I appreciate this coral. Honestly when you have them grow into large colonies they are quite impressive. In fact I believe all of my favia came from tidal gardens
Yes, they are underrated. At least until they became hard to get. Its strange how corals pop into popularity so suddenly along with their tripling price tags.
The prism, reverse prism, and dragon soul might actually be dipsastraea rosaria, not coelastrea. The only ones that I know for sure are coelastrea are the splatter goniastreas.
My Acropora Nasuta is named Hello Kitty and its growing a base. I have Pinky the Bear, Banana Boy Blue, Mojo Man, etc. At first I found it silly but now I think its cute. I made a planting map to remember what is what in case of success. Now, if the colors morph into something different, can I make a name too or does it have to be a first culture? Dolly the Sheep Platygyra, Prickly the Pear Pavona, Ivan the Acan (red and not popular for the moment). The top of the price list was Homewrecker. I should have taken a piece. I'm having a 100% growing, no loses so far. My Scary Canary is turning more yellow everyday. I think the names were inspired by coffeeshops in the Netherlands. Purple Paletta, Blueberry Fields, Strawberry Haze, Afghan Kush...some smokin' corals.

A whole bunch of corals are no longer Favia. What do you think about the breakup in naming convention?
Its very interesting to hear the genus Favia has changed. Do you know where I can get more information about this?
are you guys going to do a video on Platygyra?
Dude i can listen to u talk about corals all day. Thanks for all the info👍
Any time

So nice of you
Great video! I never knew the difference in growth for favia and favites. Thanks for making this lengthy video with all the parameters

Glad to help
U are the best when covering any type of animals for reef or fish and love the information you present
I appreciate that!

New to the hobby and favia are some of my favorite
That is an excellent video Than! Great job!
watching theis videos make me more and more exited to get my first sps coral, and harder to keep lps.lol
Good luck!!
Favia are extremely cool coral, one of my favorite.
Underrated corals for sure IMO
Just watched your older video on Favia and was hoping for a new release.
Another great video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Idk if there is a video on that tank, but there should be.
Not a tank review per se but it was a part of my trip to the UK. It is a show tank at AAC: ua-cam.com/video/S42la60tePQ/v-deo.html
I would run it on the bottom section of my tank love them we have two at work in the tank and they look amazing

Good choice!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Is the coral at 1:05 a favia fragum? I have one that looks exactly that colors and all
Fantastic video as always 👌🏻. Does anyone know of a library of the different types or names to help identify between all the corals with in the genus?
I picked up a book Jake Adams from Reef Builders recommended: amzn.to/35zeMcY
@@tidalgardens nice 1 thanks mate

I have two of them close to each other on the bottom of a rock scape. Sooooo slow growing. Maybe a good thing

Possibly Favites

It is a Meltdown Favia
