Anyone know what this is? Some kind of Favia?

Looks like an acan to me, I don't know the exact name of this particular acan as there are so many different acans available. I've got 10 different acans.

FYI: We do have specialty forums for all of the different corals further down the forums list, and there are some people that are really good at giving you an exact ID on them. Just go to the LPS forum and post this in that forum if you want an exact ID.

I'm guessing goniastrea.

Pretty sure it's not a goniastrea. Could be an acan but the mouth looks a little small to me. Darn LPS can be difficult to figure out.

Doubt it is acanthastrea, possibly micromussa, could be a goniastrea but Im guessing favia. However, hard to tell from one single head, would be easier with multiple/ grown out a bit

here is a favia from barrier reef aquariums that looks similar.

Yeah I think Favia as well. I guess I'll let it grow and see what it turns into. For 10 bucks I'm not to overly worried about it. Thanks for the the guesses guys!
