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