Favites pentagona, not Favia. Favia don't occur in the hobby
 
I know they were declassified "favia" at some point. For many years they were called favia. Habits can be hard to break.
F. pentagona were never classified as Favia, as far as I know. Only species with plocoid corallites were ever classified in that genus.
