Picked this up at a frag swap today, but nobody could give me an accurate ID on it. Guy I got it from said his best guess was some kind of encrusting goniopora.

My eyes aren't what they used to be. If each head has 12 "petals" then it's an Alevopora species. If it has 24 of such petals it's a Goniopora species. Looks like 12 to me.

Just counted and got 24. They're kind of off-set double layered. Didn't know about the "petal" number distinction between the two, that's cool! Thanks!
