LPS question

I've had this coral a few months now, when I first had it the polyps were not out and it was ID'd as Pavona but now polyps are out I don't think it is, it sends out stingers at night very much like Galaxia. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks John.

Looks more like Lithophyllon to me, a Fungiid. They seem to be relatively new to the trade. I've just seen a couple of them offered at online stores lately.
 
it looks like a pavona to me, a lithophyllon actually resembles a plate coral more with more mouths. I have both and would have to agree with Justin.
