Green radial lines extend outward from many of the mouths through the darker purple tissue, while brilliant red patches add additional contrast and variation. The bright yellow-green mouths stand out strongly against the surrounding darker tissue and help create the distinctive multicolor appearance reflected in the “Rainbow War Coral” name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFavites\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e species contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that provide much of their nutritional energy.
