From the mouths it looks like an Echinophyllia aspera or some kind of chalice to me, leptos and lythos don't have protruding mouths like chalices.

I think it's most likely a Leptoseris sp. but not the same species as most others we see. Maybe Leptoseris explanata?. There are a few different species it might be, how big is your coral frag?

Here's L. explanata
