The growth pattern is often encrusting and gradually thickening or dome-shaped. The coloration varies greatly depending on the individual, and the same coral can exhibit several different colors and patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\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. However, distinguishing them can still be difficult in small frags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLPS coral with large and clearly distinguishable corallites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorallites have shared walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows as an encrusting and often later thick or dome-shaped growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in numerous different colors and patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerately easy to care for in a stable reef aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan form long sweeping tentacles and sting nearby corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, approximately 100–150 PAR.
