Coral ID?

[BubbleBuddy]

New to saltwater and received a coral that I can’t seem to identify. It’s doubled in size in the 2 months I’ve had it. The outer portions sway with flow of the tank and it retracts at night. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Your gunna get allot of "bad picture" responses but it could be a soft coral not sure it really is hard to tell so far away, it could be a mushroom with quick growth does it have multiple small polyps

Looks like Pavona or leptastrea coral

either a green leptastrea or an oddly mounted hydnophora

Thanks for the feedback. Here’s a closer shot and video.

Thanks! I just researched Hydnophora exesa and it definitely looks like what I have. Thanks again.
