Im not sure what kinda of lps this is. It looks kinda like a scoly but seems little different.

That is a single polyp of Acanthastrea hemprichii, often falsely called a lobophyllia. I have a nice big colony of it. Keep in mind, this coral is very aggressive. So keep a gap of at least 4 inches between it and other corals, just to keep it happy.
Good luck and God bless!

Here's my colony:

nevermind, when I googled the name I got a different coral. Well, it used to be called Lobophyllia hemprichii.
