That's a tough one, have any night photos? I would say its a galaxea fascicularis.

Here is a similar one http://directsealife.com/shop/images...scicularis.jpg

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.

This is a happy galaxea.

This is kind of ****ed off.
The skeleton looks totally different than yours.

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