If it has 24 "tentacles" than most likely it is an encrusting goniopora. RM has one for sale right now.

Looks like 24, so that is probably what it is. I hope the encrusting sort is more hardy than the regular type. Gonna do some research on it.
Thanks!

Hi New_noob, I do not think Galaxea corals encrusts and have 24 tentacles on each polyp. But I might be wrong.
