brain coral id

my girlfriend got me a nice big chunck of coral from the LFS for me for my birthday over the weekend lucky me! hahaha i was just wondering what kind of Brain you guys think it is...

Upon opening the bag i thought it was something in platygyra genera. (pic 1)

Then the following night it completely opened up, and looked very different and almost looked like favites or maybe even a favia... I'll let you guys be the judge!
Worm Brain or something else?






under the leds i adjusted the pic on my phone to more closely resemble what it really looks like, it truly is that bright green under the leds!
