Coral ID

[Australian_Reef]

Thought that this may be a favites, but has multiple mouths per coralite so I’m not sure. Seems too simple for an platygyra. Any help to ID this would I be appreciated. It’s a really nice little coral too.
Many thanks

Either a Favia or a Symphyllia would be my guess (I'm guessing, not super knowledgable on these corals)

i think it’s a platygyra

My guess would be a platygyra of some sort, but also not very skilled in brain coral IDs.

Im viewing a phone and either platygyra or favites but leaning towards Platy

Platygyra or Paragoniastrea. Favites and "Favia" (Dipsastraea) don't have sinuous corallites

It’s a difficult one. It has sinuous coralites… but not that sinuous and the oral discs are quite broad. This is why it has be stumped.its from Australia GBR if this helps any.

the valley length of Platygyra and Paragoniastrea varies depending on species and conditions. I've seen subcerioid specimens in intertidal areas.

Many thanks. The coralite size/length seems to vary over the coral. At the top/centre it looks favites-like. Single poylp shared coralite walls…but elsewhere more elongated and platy like. It’s a gorgeous specimen for sure. I’m definitely now leaning towards platygyra.

I have a large colony, keep it in lower light. Mine is a fast grower.

It's right above the triggers fin behind the bird's nest

Could also be Paragoniastrea australensis, and likely is if it is coming from Australia, especially if from the southern GBR.
