Those actually look like micromussas.

Sold to me as favites. Always assumed based on that

I thought that the walls between polyps on favities were conjoined. I agree that those look more like micromussa lords. Maybe we can get some input from some LPS gurus.

They are beautiful btw.

After investigation, I believe that you’re right in assessing that they are indeed Micromussa sp..

I have shared some of these pictures before, but here are some of my "favia/favites". A few of mine took years to begin to grow. I have had my war coral die off to 1 polyp and is now a huge chunck (like 4"x5" or so).

Yellow dragon soul goni

 

[Ober_Reef]

Here is mine, I think it is one of the more basic varieties out there. The goal is for it to encrust the entire rock it is on. Not the fastest grower but not the slowest either.

War coral

 

[Aqua62]

I’ll throw in a couple of mine. They Expand beautifully when the lights come on or are great encrusters on the rock.

 

[TurboTang]

Funny thing is I never glued the frag plug down because I just temporarily put it up higher so my coral beauty would stop picking at it along his swimming trail. No chance moving it now.

Couldn't resist, bought another favia last night at a LFS near me..
