I was thinking Acanthastrea bowerbanki or Blastommussa Merletti.
But I'm getting old and my eye site is going fast.

Nice find either way.
I once found a single polyp of Blastomussa Wellsi now it's like 30 polyp's +

My first thought was that it was an Acan but It could be a candy cane also, Again I have very little experience

Candy canes with tissue recession.

definitely not candy canes guys, doesn't have the right type of skeleton. candy canes grow on stems like roses not in a tight bundle like that,

IMO it looks like some sort of branching lobo but the tissue texture isn't correct, possibility of blastos but i'm not positive of that either

Favia?

Could also be Lobo.

Those are red and green candy canes. Mine grew just like that. I have seen many just like them as well. Most grow on stems but they can also group together depending on the location and tank the their in.
