Not to say you are wrong but are you 100% for sure you are right? Either way thanks for the response!

Possible it could even be a blastomussa wellsi after looking closer.

I see what you are saying about the separation between favia and the arcans.. but the blasto have this separation like a arcan.

IMO it's a favia, possibly Favia favus.
Favia actually do have separated coralite walls. It's probably favites that you're thinking of that do not have the separation.

I say favia too.

Looks like favia, maybe even brain coral? Definitely not blastomussa though, 100%.
