I have this monster of a colony that keeps expanding . Can someone tell me the name of this coral ?

Looks kinda like Heliopora to me. @Greg Hiller @dz6t what do you think? My understanding is that they can have both upright and plating growth forms.

It’s actually blue on the inside if you break. Piece

Well that settles it!

Also know as the "living fossil" as it has not really changed in many millions of years. Also, FWIW, more related to what we would call soft corals than SPS corals. I sometimes make my extra growth into jewelry as no one will buy it live!
