I was actually thinking last night while staring at it that a Lobophyllia (or as mentioned before Acan Lord) would be a likelihood. Just basing this off of the unique texture of the tissue, how far it extends out, and the fact it is forming multiple heads.honestly not sure on this one. Could be a corallimorph, or could be lobophylliid.
Lobophylliid refers to the family Lobophylliidae, not just Lobophyllia. I actually don't think it's a lobo or acan (Micromussa), as they have a more "velvety" flesh texture. If this coral is really a scleractinian, I would guess that it is either a Mycedium (not a lobophylliid) or true acan.I was actually thinking last night while staring at it that a Lobophyllia (or as mentioned before Acan Lord) would be a likelihood.

Haha, I'm sorry - I don't know much about coral ID yet, and all of the corals I might've guessed at this point have been guessed.Help us @ISpeakForTheSeas, you're our only hope!
I second this. Looks like 2 mouths of an echinata.Curious if it could be an acan echinata....
