I am not sure what my coral exactly is, but it is in the group that we usually just refer to as "Favia" for better or for worse.
For these types of corals (Favia, Dispsastraea, Favites, etc), will they grow outward if placed on the sand bed? Many coral will grow new polyps/heads outward, stretching on to the surrounding rock. I am wondering, if there is no rock around, will it continue to grow out it's core skeleton and increase outward on it's own?
