I think is a speciosa no ?
 
I can see it being a speciosa but do they encrust that much with that many coralites and branches? Also I see elongated polyps which isn’t an Identifying factor technically and not sure if speciosa have them as well. This is one I have yet to keep personally. Looking on aims it’s crazy how close to Microlados some of those colonies are!
