Does anyone have an idea to what kind of favia this is, if it is a favia?
Thanks http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/50306g-med.jpg

Favia danae (http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/images/401-500/Large/495-02.jpg) is a possibility.

it also looks a lot like Favia laxa (http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/images/101-200/Large/150-02.jpg) but laxa is rarely green.

could also be Plesiastrea versipora (http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/images/301-400/Large/306-01.jpg).

It does look like the F. laxa to me...but it is bright green.
