anyway to get a closer pic? Has similarities to euphyllias but in the same sense it does not have tips like euphyllia.

That is not a coral. That is a group of tunicates/sea squirts.

Really?
Can you get a picture of the species?

 

[theop]

It's a type of macroalgae, possibly Scinaia complanata

the coral is amazing but it looks as though you have some nasty cyano under it on the substrate?

theop is correct- that is not a coral, but an algae. Scinaia

Really cool looking growth of it too- wouldnt mind finding some of that for myself.
