Hi Deep, its not a Galaxea ( I have Galaxy also ), yes has sweeping tentacle. It grows horizontal ( encrusting across, when closed it looks like a smooth rock shape. Its all green in color. sps/lps? Seems to love strong current. I thought its plate or Pavona Coral?

If you tap it or blast some water on it with a baster will it close up? Maybe we can get a better pic of the skeleton?

From the pic it looks like it is most likely A Hydnophora microconos.
