I’d say it’s Favites, leptastrea looks incredibly fluffy with the polyps they have.

I like the “incredibly fluffy” description. I think “fluffy” or “hairy” is how I’d describe it looking in person. Lots of tentacles surrounding the mouths unlike the puffiness of my favia polyps. The top picture is a little unclear due to angle and zoom. The second picture is during feeding with reef roids, so all the tentacles are retracted.
