Not much to go on lol. I bought a tunicate rock and had a couple coral hitchhikers on them. Wondering what they might be, I believe the rock comes from the indo pacific, but likely indo specifically. Mostly wondering what the coral in the circled photo is. Considering what I believe is a favia that came on the same rock I’m inclined to believe it’s the same, might be wrong tho. Came in bone white, it’s beginning to regrow tissue. In the 2nd photo you can see some polyp extension.

Photos under white lights? Hard to tell from the pictures

Sorry for the late reply, at least now some of the corals are partially bleached. What I believe it be porites still shows some polyp extension though.
