MaryHM Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 It's easy to tell the difference between Favia and Favites. In favites, each individual polyp has it's own "wall"- a complete circle that is not shared by another polyp, as in your specimen. In a favites, the polyps share "walls". Link to comment
