Looks like a member of the Fungiidae Family. Probably a Fungia or Cycloseris.

They can inflate like that when something is stinging them, like Discosoma mushrooms.

or if they want to move.

That's right. It is from the fungiidae family. As seen from the picture, it is either stinging the Discosoma Mushroom or the Blastomussa Merlati because both have shrinked or is trying to move away. But there is no space for it to move so I have to monitor it so that no coral is harmed.

I posted the picture because it has inflated to such a huge size!
