I can't find this anywhere else online and wanted to see if anyone knows what kind of heliofungia it is or has seen anything like it.

I don’t think it is a heliofungia. I think it is a type of “colonial” plate corals via this article. https://reefbuilders.com/2012/01/18/fungia-fralinae/

BSA sells a couple colors of these and always small specimens that look awesome. I should have grabbed one at RAP and will at some point in the future.
