From the evident corallites and septa, it appears to be a stony coral, but with its polyps extended, not enough detail is shown to pin it down, although Echinophyllia and Leptoseris, possibly Pavona comes to mind.

The more that I compare it to a known (mine) pavona, the more I believe that is what you have.

My Pavona (sounds like the title of an old song, which I now have stuck in my head, dang)

Definately need a picture with the polyps retracted. And preferably a higher res. photo.
