I "think" that's a Stylophora pistillata also a Cat's Paw coral. Here's an example from WWW

Can Stylophoras have thin branches? If the one I have is a stylophora, its branches are thinner that the one in the pic.

If it's young it can. As they grow they thicken and develop more of the Cats Paw appearance.

Hmm, I got mine as a frag from a HUGE colony that looks the same. the colony was about a bit less than a foot long.
