    Any Idea how much a 4" x 4" colony would go for?

    IMO you got a fair deal. No idea how much they're really worth though. Congrats on IDing it I know how hard that can be sometimes lol

    I'm no coral ID expert, but I'm going to be contrarian. That looks more like an acan bowerbanki than like a favia. Is the body fleshy, or does it look more rigid with a thin flesh overlay?

    For $35 you got a very good deal on a frag that size.

    It feels someone rigid.

    I agree with acan bowerbanki. When people say acan, many (including me) often assume Acan Lord b(ut there are many more types of acans.

    IMO you got a great deal. What it would go for will vary, but I would say probably 80 retail at least.

    Make sure you feed it meaty foods.....and you will see it grow very well. I start all my acans on a mixture of cyclopeeze and baby brine and move up to mysis and then even whole pieces of krill.
