Unknown LPS id plz

Hey everyone! I bought this at the TCMAS swap yesterday as an unidentified coral...just thought it looked really cool. I think it could be something like a cyphastrea, but am not sure. I have seen gonis with this color combo before but this coral definitely has cyphastrea sized polyps and the polyps don't look like flowers like the gonis IMO. Sorry for the bad pic, i'll get a better one once the main lights turn on later today.
Thanks!

There are several color variations of cyphasteea so it could be. But hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks all!

Turbo, I think from comparing the two it could be a porites, but the colors seem different; the mouths are yellow and the rest is a darker red, like a maroon.

Here's a better pic:

So I looked at the second page of the thread Turbo posted, and when the coral's closes it looks the same as mine when it's closed. I think it is a porites then, even though Joe isn't 100% sure his is a porites. I guess I'll just go with it like he did

So, what's better for the new ironman released this weekend than a new ironman named coral? I dub thee: the ironman porites! :)

I was going to say lepta as well.
