Coral identification

Hello,
I just bought this coral today from a fellow reefer. I just wanted to know what type of sps it is?

It was kinda white in colour.

Poccillipora. Good beginner SPS. A lot of.them go white in the middle and or base when they get big.

Only downside is sometimes they spread via a polyp bailout that is pretty unique to Poccis.

No prob. Think of this coral as one to learn on. But plan to sell it back into the hobby if you advance to mostly Acros.

If it spreads on you now you'll think it's kinda cool. But if it spreaders later, you may get ****ed that it took up space an acro could have been put instead.

I’m trying to get rid of it, taking too much real estate
