That is what everyone say it a crossover with a monti and chalice.
 
there sure are some strang things coming over these last few month. must be collecting from alot of new sites. i will look through the books but off hand i have no clue
 
Looks like there are commensal crabs in the coral.
 
Nice piece! Does it extend anything from the larger eyes? Just wondering if those larger eyes are part of the coral or if it's something that it has grown over.

I bought a rainbow montipora that came encrusting over a colony of tube worms. It was portrayed as a branching & encrusting variant, which it really wasn't.
 
Some sort of lepastrea? I dont think i spelled that correctly, But i think its close. ;)
 
Second thought. MAYBE Cyphastrea japonica. If i am correct do i win a frag? LOL
 
It looks like the coral has eyes looking at you.

What is the EC mike?
 
Yup looks like a Cyphastrea. Its obviously not open though. Here is a picture of a comparison to one of my Cyphstreas.
