The coloration varies strongly depending on the individual, and the same coral can display several different colors in the centers and edges of its corallites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Favia is still commonly used in the aquarium trade, even though many Indo-Pacific corals previously classified under the genus Favia are now categorized, for example, under the genus Dipsastraea.
