Let's see if we can get this right? ID

After several attempts at trying to get an ID, this coral seems to have stumped this forum. Anyone else care to give it a try? The coral has polyps ranging between 1/2" and 1" across. Coral is a complete wild colony from indonesia. Has long sweeper tentacles at night. Is very frilly. It is not an acan lord!

Looks like a deep water favia or a monastrea.
Sorry I'm not 100% sure, but its my best guess.

Mussids don't have sweeper tentacles so you can rule out the Acanthastrea Family. Favidae seems like the most likely Family.
 
The sweepers on this guy are about 6" long and I put a oulophyllia that I thought was the same as the coral and it decimated the thing over night. It also kills echinos, acans, and favias.
