Hi everyone, need help in identifying this LPS, not really sure what it is. i believe it's a close relative of elegance. anyone got an idea what it is?

Thanks!

first thought was that it is an elegance but might be a duncanopsamia.

Do you have any pics of it closed up.

From that pic my first thought would be a plating hydnophora.

Wow Thanks!! this seems the right one! a follow up question, does this belong to LPS? or SPS? thanks!

Doesn't really matter tbh as both catagories aren't scientific just hobbyist segregation. It shows attributes of what you could describe as either, like turbinaria, pavona etc but the one thing to know is that it can be very aggressive.
