Name this coral

I bought this coral, but i don't know what it is. Please ID it for me.

Possibly a psammacora. . . Unfortunately it appears to be infested with coral boring worms.

If you are planning on keeping more stoney corals in the future I would remove that piece and discard it. There may be some parts that are salvagable, however, it seems pretty infested. You could do ivermectin dips, but unless you already have it on hand it may be difficult to get that specific medication.

Oh man that sucks. I have thrown out the coral. I'm not very happy. The LFS that I bought it off of also sold me a GSP full of bristle worms and some other little flat transparent bug. When I dipped the gsp about 20 bugs fell off.

These worms seem to be making a big wave lately.

Could you get a closer pic? Possibly Leptoseris but the photo's too grainy to tell
