This is my second attempt to get this posted. Hope it works. I rarely post, but search for info here often. I was told this is a type of open brain but after looking through several pics of open brain, I haven't seen any that resemble this coral. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like some kind of Pectina to me.

Awesome. Thank you both. I found a couple of pics that resembled it. Sorry it was posted in lps id. They were so fleshy I would have never guessed they were an sps. Any guess to the species. Maybe Pectinia alcicornis or Pectinia paeonia?
