Lobo...?
 
Looks like meaty coral such as ultra acanthophyllia
 
Now known as "parascolymia rowleyensis" so not even a trade name on this one just a mouth full...

Actually now it's Lobophyllia rowleyensis. It is closely related to Lobophyllia vitiensis, which used to be a Scolymia.
 
I'd trust @encrustingacro on pretty much all coral ids. Those seem to be hard to find. Been looking around since I saw the Tidal Gardens video on Australliomussa and the following Reef Builders articles reclassifying them.
