GoingPostal Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Those are all favia/favites, no idea on exact species Link to comment
opaquelace Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yea was about to say, no idea where the acan IDs came from. Very nice finds though. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am going with blasto favia favia. Those are all favia/favites, no idea on exact speciesI am leaning towards the same even though the first one has the texture of a blasto. Link to comment
opaquelace Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm going to follow this thread because that first one is throwing me for a loop. Link to comment
GHill762 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The last one kinda looks like acan enchinata Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Those are all favia/favites, no idea on exact species +1 Link to comment
opaquelace Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 +1 What kind of fav is the first one? It's so...smooth. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The last one kinda looks like acan enchinataIt does but usually a Echinata doesn't dip down that far around the eyes/mouth. I'm going to follow this thread because that first one is throwing me for a loop.I agree!What kind of fav is the first one? It's so...smooth.+1 never seen a favia that smooth either. Link to comment
wow.such.chris Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yea was about to say, no idea where the acan IDs came from. Very nice finds though. I just thought that the heads on the last pic look rather separate which is what lead me to call acan rather than favia. Still a noob when it comes to genus and species ID. Any way to clearly explain faviids vs acans? Link to comment

Still a noob when it comes to genus and species ID. Any way to clearly explain faviids vs acans? I find acan echinata has more rounded eyes/mouths and tends to look more fluffy than favia. Acan lords when inflated look like separate polyps IMO. Link to comment
