Anybody has an idea what species this coral is.

I was thinking a lord as well, but the heads are much larger than what lords usually have. Some heads' diameters exceeds 4 inched.

Species of Acanthastrea?

You are right now I’m very intrigued to find out what it is.

Those heads are giant! Looks to be mircromussa lordhowensis but the polyp size is crazy.

Maybe some kind of Trachy?

Only thing I can think of is Sclerophyllia maxima, but that species is a WIO endemic (where coral collection/export is illegal), so it should not be in aquariums. Are you able to ask the person/vendor you got this from where it came from/was collected?

Alternatively, it could be a Caribbean Mussine like Mussa angulosa, although collection/export of Caribbean corals are illegal, so these corals shouldn't be in the hobby either.
