Coral ID Please

This is my favorite coral that I have found so far, does any one know what it is or at least what genus it might be?

I have one. But it's reddish brown. And I don't what it's called either.

This one was a fantastic specimen 4-6 inch range for around 75 bucks.

My guess would be favia sp. Possibly favia laxa.

Thank you ReefKeeper. It is 100% a Montastaera Cavernosa. Great Job.

Re: Coral ID Please

So this would be considered a LPS Favid(brain coral) and not angel safe correct?
