Looks like pocillopora

Could be Pocillopara, Stylophora or maybe Seriatopora. Here are colonies of each in my tank. Here is a good thread to identify.

All things Birdsnest, Stylo, and Poci!

Hello, I love all SPS corals, however I have a slight obsession with seriatopora, stylophora, and pocillopora species. I have kept all types of SPS, but these have always been my favorite. I am always looking for new additions, but I find it very difficult to locate places where I can find...

It looks more like an aberrant Pocillopora. Stylophora (cat's paw) have thicker branches, and Seriatopora (birdsnest) have their polyps arranged in rows.
