Anyone want to take a stab as to what flavour of porites this might be?

Hard to tell without a better shot of the corallites, but I agree it looks more like a Turbinaria.

Sorry guys there is no way it is a Turbinaria. I have 4 varieties of them & this is completely different, I am quite sure it is some type of porites. I just can't find anything in my books including Veron's COTW that looks quite like it. The polyps are very small but other than them being a different color than the base IMO it looks to be porites. It is in an awkward spot but I'll try and get a better photo.
