No sure what this is, some pics and closeups:

Some sort of brain maybe, like a favites or favia sp? Can you get a pic when the feeders aren't out? How big is that coral in relative size to others?
 
The coral is the the size of a large fist. The feeders are about 0.08 inches in diameter. When feeders aren't out they are flat on the surface.
 
Encrusting Porites coral?? Hard to say w/ no polyp size reference, compared to other corals, in the pic.
 
He said the coral is about the size of a fist. That would make some huge porites polyps, wouldn't it? :)

My first thought was favia as well, but I do agree with Mike, a larger picture would help if you could.
