Looks very similar to me.

They dont polyp?

 

[Tahoe61]

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.
