Chad,
Now those are some huge photos you posted. I am on Cable and they still took forever to load
.
This is a tough coral to ID. Is there any way that you can take another photo of the polyps fully retracted so all you can see is the skeleton? Or frag a piece off and remove if from the water and take a photo? It is soo fuzzy with polyps that I am having a hard time even getting a genus. My first thought from the second set of photo's you supplied us with is some sort of Cyphastrea as the septa on the corallites (from what I can see) seem to resemble their general structure. They also tend to create thin plates as they grow out. I am not sure if I am helping at all but I am still interested in figuring out what this is.
Thanks for the photos the first time around and sorry about the latency of this response.
