Don't take this as a ID based on any sort of taxonomic knowledge of goniopora species, but I have seen pictures of G. planulata that look almost identical to the one you have. I'm pretty sure most of them come in from Indo though...

The two most dreaded words in this hobby, "Japanese" and "Deep Water"...

The third is "LE", all three will cost you extra...

Simply put you will be spoon fed BS from 85% of LFS out there to ensure a transaction, especially if you go in not knowing what your buying.
