Cyphastrea.

....is what I was/am thinking but I figured it was worth asking if anyone knew of something else it might be.

Thanks.

I agree with Justin. Cyphastrea doesn't plate, and those bumps/striations in the tissue are very distinct to Echinopora. Astreopora has the bumps, but no lines.

Looks more like echinophyllia to me. Echinopora typically has much smaller eyes.

They are, look at the zoos in the background for size reference.

I think it might be species of encrusting Porites.

Never saw one in that color though I have to admit. A mystery. Good looking piece still.

Echinopora and one of the nicest I have ever seen!!
