Is this Favia Coral Healthy?

Forum:

I have a question since acquiring my 39g reef all my SPS seem to be doing well and open up daily during feeding however the favas coral in the pic seems to me has been lowly shrinking to the point i cannot even make out any of the green color anymore. Is this a healthy Favia? of do i need to be doing something else to help promote growth?

Once again Thank You and Merry Xmas to all 3reefers

Looks healthy, try spot feeding it. The feeding tentacles normally come out at night. Mysis or any small meaty food will work.

 

Looks OK to me, but the image is a bit tiny

the thing to look for is expossed skeleton, areas of white calcium with no flesh, thats often a bad sign

if you dont see that, but they dont open fully, it may be a flow issue so moving to a lower flow area can create extra expansion

Like your avatar by the way

Thanks 2in10 and Steve thus far no skeleton which is good news and yes i will try spot feeding it with mysis. It maybe what you guys mentioned placing of the L/R I will attempt to lower the rock work if after feeding seems not to work...
