Allmost New member Oct 23, 2013 #3 at least the polyps look like Hydnophora pilosa http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0364 but could be wrong, as we cant really see the skeleton in the pic.

Frick AZ FRAG President Oct 24, 2013 #6 I was going to guess Psammocora stellata or a Pavona species. Going to have to take a pic when it is not as puffed up and the polyps are retracted. The detail of the skeleton would help clarify. http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0640 http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0289
