The growth pattern is often encrusting and gradually thickening or domed. The coloration varies greatly depending on the individual, and multiple colors and patterns can appear in the same coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFavites closely resembles Favia corals in appearance. The clearest difference is in the structure of the corallites: Favites corallites have shared walls, while Favia-type corals have separate walls for individual corallites. In small frags, distinguishing them can still be challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLPS coral with large and clearly distinguishable corallites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCorallites have shared walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrows as an encrusting coral, often later forming thick or dome-shaped growths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in numerous different colors and patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelatively easy to care for in a stable reef aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCan extend long sweeper tentacles and sting nearby corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, about 100–150 PAR.
