Hmmmmmmm, think it is a Leather Coral.
But if I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me ;)

Looks very similar to me.
 
Some Pavona do, some types do not show the same polyp extension. If the structure is calcium carbonate based than I would be inclined to think Pavona, if not they perhaps some type of bryozoans growth.
The image looks to have calcareous corallite structures which lead me to think it's Pavona frondifera.
