Can anyone positively identify?

I've had it for about 4 years. The polyps never change...it just grows outward and new polyps develop.

Thanks,
Kevin

Welcome to Reef Central!

That is an odd one, atleast to me. Sorry I cant help with an id. Using the terms sps and lps very loosely I would refer to that one as an lps, but thats just me. It wouldnt hurt to post it in the lps id forum. You'll find a link to the id forum at the bottom of the lps forum main page.

I would say LPS as well. Similar to Cup coral, and sun coral.
You got me though.

Try here, and let us know what you find out:

First thing that came to mind was 'scroll coral' which is a type of turbinaria.

That is a tough one. Could be a Turbinaria, which is an LPS, but also resembles early growth of a Cyphastrea, which is an SPS.
