Default Coral identification - goniopora?

Hi all...

I've got some of this stuff growing on some LR in my sump. Is it
goniopora? Or something else? The polyps extend from a hard flat base.

Stu, it looks like a Red Goniopora to me! Congrats, that one is considered the
best one for captive systems.
