Can anyone id this coral for me? Thanks!

pachyseris would be my guess, some vendors may sell it as leptoseris.

They can be difficult to tell apart sometimes but leptos "grooves" or costae usually undulate and meet at the corallites and are deeper/more defined than pachyseris. Leptos also tend to have larger, immersed coralites in general where as pachyseris are small and undefined.

Hope this helps !
