Please take a photo when the tissue is retracted so we can see the skeleton. I am almost 100% sure it is not Galaxea nor Goniopora, but I need to see the skeleton to ID for sure.

The photos that SATELLITE posted show a coral with "mouths" in between the "clusters" of tissue. Neither Galaxea nor Goniopora have this trait.
