From what I can tell in the picture it looks like a morph of Cyphastrea. But I could be wrong.

I can also tell you the lfs said it’s a coral that can sting
Is that fully open? Could be a cyphastrea as the post above says, could also be a really upset goniopora, or a leptastrea, will need another photo of it fully open, maybe a clearer photo? I'll be able to tell from the skeleton structure, though can't see much from this photo, also do you have a rough size measurement?

Sorry I just got it today still opening goniopora sounds familiar will look that up I’d say it’s a little less then 1”x1”
