It may be Acanthastrea echinata, or some sort of chalice. The leftmost polyp looks more like echinata though.

Hard to tell from the picture. I agree that either a chalice or an echinata. Both can be aggressive Coral and both like lower flow. Echinata like low light. Some chalices prefer med light but do okay in low light.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
