Fb Dominant #11, written Fb7#11, is built from Fb, Ab, Cb, Ebb and Bb: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and sharp 11th.
Its 3rd and 7th, Ab and Ebb, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass. Bb7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for Fb7#11 as its tritone substitute.
