Hopeful someone can help me identify this coral I purchsed at my LFS. It was labeled a FAVIA, but it sure seems to have a lot of shared coralite walls (making it a favites?):eek:

I have attached a couple of photos:cool: Please help! Tanks!:D

Favites_complanata?
I think

Great thought. I found some supporting photos from a Google search. The more I look at it, the more I continue to question the LFS' "favia" designation.....:o

im going favite, favia tend to be more fleshy, and extend out kinda like a shroom (very loose description)

No doubt a favites just for the characteristic you named in the beginning. Favites share walls.... favia definately do not and that is one of their most distinguishing separateably characteristic.

distinguishing separateably characteristic.

I don't know very many "big" words... I think that is all 3 of them right there. :p

EDIT:
Oops.... I'm new here and seem to be digging up some old threads without realizing it. I'm poking around and trying to get a feel for the place.

what do u feed it?

They can live without food items with good lighting but they grow well when fed meaty foods. They will take bigger food items that you think they will.
