Probably a kind of porites. If you can zoom in with a magnifying glass or macro lens, you should be able to see some polyps or at least their tips sticking out, but if it's relatively recently added, it may take some days for them to fully extend.

This is a "soft" coral, and not a hard stoney?

Appears to be a cactus coral to my eyes? Pavona decussata -But if it is a softy, I'm not sure what I am looking at. 🧐

Is it soft or hard? My guess would be some sort of Sarcophytid.

not Pavona; growth form is not thamnasteroid
