So I got what looks like some type of brain/favites coral that I snagged while fishing around 4-5 months ago and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is, it almost completely bleached out because I didn't have a chiller for 3/4 months, but after a month it seems to be recovering slowly ( still getting my phosphates down from 0.5 ), more polyps are back now, anyone know what it is?

Couldn't give up on it because it just looked so pretty, was thinking about tossing it back in the ocean but I decided to give it a chance and slowly recovering now, polyps returning slowly.

either Leptastrea or Favites pentagona
