hello got a mystery coral and was just curious what coral it is? Looks abit red

Looks like a pavona to me based on the striations but would it be possible to take a picture with flash? It’s really hard to see the roughness of the surface which may help in this case.

Leptoseris cf mycetoseroides
I'm going with Pachyseris, elephant skin coral
Pachyseris has "zig-zag"-like walls like this:

Encrusting monti-cap?
As far as I know, there are no TRUE Montipora capricornus in the hobby; all are just other foliose species of Montipora
Pavona maldivensis has exert corallites, which this coral does not have
 
It is a leptoseris they confirmed it just don’t know which!
