Hydnophora. Comes in plating and encrusting varieties, and some of the plating types will grow like moose antlers (branching plates?) under higher/more turbulent flow and certain conditions.
Grows like a weed in the right conditions, medium flow and medium to medium high light are typical.
It has very, very powerful stinging capabilities, and can have 6-9' sweeper tentacles, so give it room.
One of my favorite corals by far though, few can match the fluorescent glow these get under nice light.
