Favites
''Favites'' is a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae. Members of this genus are native to the Indo-Pacific region and their ranges extend from the Red Sea through the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific Ocean as far as Japan, the Line Islands and the Tuamotu Islands. Characteristics Colonies can be encrusting but are usually massive and dome-shaped. The corallites are mostly cerioid (sharing a common wall), but some are plocoid (with an individual wall) and the palliform lobes are indistinct, which distinguishes these corals from the otherwise similar ''Goniastrea''. Species The following species are currently recognized by the World Register of Marine Species : *''Favites abdita'' (Ellis & Solander, 1786) *'' Favites acuticollis'' (Ortmann, 1889) *'' Favites chinensis'' (Verrill, 1866) *'' Favites colemani'' (Veron, 2000) *''Favites complanata'' (Ehrenberg, 1834) *''Favites favosa'' (Ellis & Solander, 1786) *''Favites flexuosa'' (Dana, 1846) *''Favites halico ...
