I have this coral but do not know what it is. It doesn’t seem to be a plate or blasto but maybe a fativa?? It is growing upwards a little as well. I love it since it’s kind of pink and yellow green. I’m color blind but these colors pop great in blue or moonlight. Ironically, I am at a coral saltwater store right now but their saltwater specialist are not here. They have another of this coral but nobody in the store knows what it is.
mine employee said a possible Lino but they are softer like a blasto. That’s why I think it’s a Fatima but I just do not know. I hope the pics show it well enough.
thanks so much to everyone and anyone that can help!

Difference between Favia and Favites is the walls of the polyps are shared or fused in the Favites, where the walls of the Favia genus aren't

Looks like War Coral Favites

Ah!! Thank you all so much! Especially the difference between the two because I didn’t know. Now I know and the way the walls are growing, it’s most likely a favites coral because they do look a little fused. I have a fativa that is similar where the walls don’t look like they’re fused. It’s beautiful but flat etc.
thanks again for everyone showing an interest. I really appreciate it.
