Hello! I could use some help with an ID on this. LFS sold it to me as a blasto for 10 dollars but as I learn about different corals it kinda seems like a Favia. I had some people on Facebook suggest a button Scoly but one of the frags of these had two heads. I didn’t think Scoly grew new heads. TIA!

I’d agree with Button Scoly as they can get double heads - they’re a species of ‘Acan’ (Micromussa pacifica).
 
It's likely just a single corallite of Dipsastraea.

Not a button scoly; notice the septal ridges on the coenosarc
