Yup, it's 2+ polyps of a large polyp stony (LPS) coral commonly called an Acan, or a Lord, or Acan Lord.
This coral used to given the scientific name Acanthastrea lordhowensis, thus the common name.
Currently its scientific name is Micromussa lordhowensis, but the common name is unchanged.

Also, welcome to R2R and the hobby!
