I'm not very good at identifying LPS corals but it looks like a Lobophyllia.
Click on the thumbnail at the bottom of this page and see if it is similar to your coral. - http://www.tidalgardens.com/pages/co...bophyllia.html

Kind of looks like that but mine is one coral (7-8 in. across) with about 10 mouths , tentacles are about 1/4 in. long and clear coloration.and it opens at night along the ridge.

It is some sort of open brain. Possibly a trachyphyllia.

I was kind of leaning towards open brain also.

SPS can be expensive. Are there any aquarium societies locally where you are where you can trade frags?

Some montiporas -

I don't really sell frags I just trade with other reefers. Right now most of my corals large enough to be propagated are in a growout phase from being fragged too much. That's why I don't have very much listed on the site.
