    It is Favites, which is a type of pineapple coral, whereas Favia is also known as moon coral.
    The main difference. between the two which is a dead give away, is that the corallites of Favites are cerioid, meaning that they share a common wall.
    It could be Blastomussa Wellsi, but I still think favites!
