I think the polyps are way too spread apart for it to be a cyphastrea.

Honestly looks like a cabbage coral but I swear there was a similar SPS as well.

Yeah I'm at a loss on IDing this. The LFS said it was a cyphastrea but I'm not certain.

Wouldn't have guessed a cabbage coral, but it would be welcomed if it is the case haha.

Thanks for your input.

Is it soft (it wouldn’t be entirely soft, it would have a little give) Or are you sure it has a hard skeleton?
 
Not a cyphastrea it’s a scroll
 
Oh this is way cooler.

Thank you all so much for your assistance.
 
Turbinaria reniformis.

Cyphastrea has spinules/papillae on its coenosteum and visible costae
