A closer, clearer photo with whiter lighting would help. Given the way the polyps appear, I’m going with Pocillopora for now.

i have been reading the horror stories....decisions decisions!!I am porcillopora inclined also...

On the bright side, no aptasia will grow where it grows...
But to be honest, I can't kill it. I chop it down to the rock, cover it in calcium carbonate. A week later that breaks away and it is bone white underneath. I am like "Victory". nope less than two weeks later, little polyps appear.
I thought I was immune. it took over a year before it went crazy. But then....
I guess it really depends on what you want out of your tank and what the future of the tank holds. I am sure there are many who would love to have a tank full of fast growing easy corals.

I started with a small plug that grew into a the size of a soccer ball. The mistake was letting it touch another coral, by the time you realize there has been a polyp bail out they are growing in every rock crevice. Spent three years eradicating that coral, it was everywhere. As soon as the small colonies touched another coral.... Bang more Pocilloporas.
I think I epoxied the last one a couple months ago..... we will see.
