The polyps remind me of a birds nest but the growth is odd. How long has it been growing in your tank? It may be a Seriatopora species that hasn’t taken off with height yet.

I got it yesterday. Guys on the shop did not know the name of it.

Let's give a couple months to check it how it's gonna be.

Polyps look more like a stylo. Skeleton is more rounded than pointed too.
I have a Seriatopora with slightly more rounded tips. Seriatopora guttatus as well as caliendrum seem to have rounded off tips over highly pointed tips like the popular Seriatopora hystrix.

Also, if you look closely enough in the photo the polyps aren’t all closely in touch and instead are in slightly more of a spread out pattern on the bit that is growing up. Whereas with Stylophora the polyps are rather compact and almost touching.
