Coral came on some live rock from Salty Bottom, 4 or 5 colonies on different rocks. Anyone know what it is and how to care for it?

If this is coming from their gulf live rock, my guess is Monstastrea. I didn't think they had cyphastrea in the gulf.
This or similar Orbicella annularis (similar type). I’m not aware of any cyphastrea native to the gulf.
 
Looking online, yes that is exactly what it looks like . Thank you!
 
That must have been fantastic!
