Yes, looks like an Oulophyllia to me.

Judging from the hand in the background, I think the polyps are too small, too convoluted, and too angular to be Oulophyllia. My thought would be either Goniastrea or Platygyra.

OK, yes -- Gonastrea. Not Platygyra, for sure, since the corallite walls are too sloped (more vertical in Platygyra).

Goniastrea australiensis, I would bet. Here is a pic from aims:
 and here is one I got last summer in an aussie shipment listed as such.
