Here is a Pavona sp that looks really similar. The additional lines could be as little as a color variation or yours being a bit more puffed up than the one pictured. Could also be wrong. This one is supposedly decussatus, but I think it is misidentified.

I'd say that the specimen Myka showed is the closest one, but it's definitely not a hydnophora, they branch out don't they?

This is for sure Pavona I had Eric Borneman I.D it himself.
What I see looks very fleshy. I think it is Pavona explanulata pg. 184 Corals of the World "Vernon" when Mr. Borneman replied to this id pic he said to tell what type of Pavona you need the skeleton with no tissue and magnification for proper I'D. So according to him a guess is best for type
