It's not cyphastrea or goniopora I would say its either a species of Oculinidae (Galaxea Coral) or Siderastreidae.

Leaning more towards Oculinidae as the coral seems to be growing in a Plocoid pattern over Siderastreidae's cerioid growth form. The presence of long sweeper tentacles strengthens this ID but I'm excited to see it color up for you!

***edit more specifically the species would be Galaxea fascicularis or Galaxea astreata
