Favites, favia or? ID Please

I grew this from a 3 polyp frag and was told it's a favia when I got it. It's one of my favourite corals and I just want to know for sure, thanks!

Favites share coralite walls as you can see there are valleys between, so my guess is favia. Alot of montastrea out there that is getting confused as favia as well, I havent familarized myself enough with the differences though. But yours appears to be a typical representative of a favia. Nice coloration as well
