Can any one tell me what this coral is?

[Anonymous]

take a look at this coral www.spicylemons.com
if any one has an idea what it is please tell me. I think it is lps and it is pure tan. There is no variation in color on it. Each little circle has a mouth type thing on it. It is almost like very dense mushrooms. One idea I had was a favite brain. Any ideas on your end. Tell me if you need more info. Thanx

Its some kind of Faviidae. But if its a Montastrea or a Favia I'm not shure of. Both are in the Faviidae family and are not easy to tell apart.

Its not Montastrea. The coral in that photo is budding intratentacularly. Montastrea polyps bud extratentacularly.
