    Belive it or not it's not a lep. but rather a Pavona species, a cool one at that :)

    The coralites are not pronounced enough to be a lep.

    The coralite does not lend itself to be a porites.

    If anyone has COT laying around this one is pretty easy to ID as a Pavona. My set it at work so I can't give specific species.
