I can't speak as to your specific variet, but I have a Christmas favia that encrusted the rock it was on, and now is working on the rock it is sitting on. Where it is growing on the rock underneath, the best way I can think of to describe the growth is that it looks as though it is melting onto the rock. It's really kind of strange looking.
