Looks alot like a acan enchinata, untill I saw the second pic.  Now I'm not sure.

My guess (if I had to guess) would be a Symphillia Wilsoni.

Just young and not fully developed yet like this one

What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!

It could be one of these.
 
(Lobophyllia hemprichii)
(Trachyphyllia geoffroyi)  
(Acanthastrea bowerbanki)

I would say acan bowerbanki. They don't always have the round polyps

Bowerbanki would be my first guess, but it could be a Enchinomorhpa.

I am pretty sure that it is a Acanthastrea bowerbanki. 

I looked all over the web and this species resembles it most. Thanks for all the expert leads and educated guesses. You guys rock!!!!
