    I read on a site that another difference between favia and favites is how they divide. Favites divides only on the edges of the colony and favia divides wherever it wants.

    Dividing is how the coral expands the colony. The favites would not divide into two polyps if it is completely surrounded by other polyps where favias divide anywhere in the colony.
