bqq100 October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 I have a favia frag that I want to attach to one of my large live rocks. As it grows will the new skeleton fuse itself to the live rock making it impossible to move? I'd like to have it on this rock, but if it means that I would never be able to remove it to frag, trim back, or dip for infection then I'd rather attach it to a piece of rubble and attach that to the live rock. I don't think that would look as nice, but if thats my only option than so be it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Puckstable October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 I think you'll be ok for some time. Favias grow really slow ime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Ford October 4, 2013 Share October 4, 2013 I have a Favia that's been touching rock on all sides for a few months and it's still not attached. It continues to grow it just hasn't grabbed ahold yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2nhle October 4, 2013 Share October 4, 2013 I had mine spread out to the rock and sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bqq100 October 4, 2013 Author Share October 4, 2013 Sounds like I just have to move the favia once a year or so to make sure it doesn't grow too attached to the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte October 4, 2013 Share October 4, 2013 Yeah, favias grow pretty slow. If you see it starting to attach, just move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackers October 4, 2013 Share October 4, 2013 I have about a dozen high end favia in my reef. Some grow really slow, some grow pretty fast. Some take a while to acclimate, then take off. It will eventually grow onto the rock making it hard to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
