Colony identification

[servus]

Can you help with identifying the colony below? I am not sure it's an lps. Plug is about 1 inch diameter, for scale purposes.

Bump.

Favia is my bet.

I'm torn between a favia/favite or a type of leptastrea. Following because I'm stumped.

 

[servus]

I was thinking favia, the heads are about 1/8 inch each, pretty tiny. I will post an enlarged image, maybe it will help.

yea I would say either Favia or fivites as well.

Could be “Anti-Venom” favites?

Now here's where I'm puzzled: heads are really small, nothing compares to anything I know or have seen regarding favia/favites. Also, the shape of the polyps resemble the image found here. I say "resemble", they are not exactly the same, but they seem to look fairly close to what that image shows.

The first image in the thread was taken when the polyps were closed, as I just moved the frag.

Thats why I thought possible leptastrea was the polyp shape. But they're usually tighter than that one.

Most likely Leptastrea, here are some of mine for reference. Their polyps are pretty small, roughly 1-2cm (0.4-0.78 inch) each.

It is possible the polyps in the first pic aren’t fully extended.

I've personally never seen one retracted so I didn't have anything to really compare it against in my head lol.

 

[servus]

First image - polyps not extended.

 

[Willu]

Yeah I also think they are leptastrea

Ok, here's what I'm going to go by, thank you all for your input!!! This will allow me to place the coral properly and make sure it will grow successfully.
