Submitted for ID by Excalbiur with location Philippines:
A possible ID comes from Muelly: On the basis of these one posted photos a more precise ID is certainly not possible, therefore Sclerophytum sp. is also correct for me.
This broadly growing Sclerophytum could possibly be a Sclerophytum cf gibberosa - mat leather coral.
According to information on the Internet, these leather corals cover areas of up to 10 square meters and are said to overgrow entire sections of reef.
The occurrence of these large Sclerophytum corals is said to have declined sharply in recent years.
