Please help id my coral!

I have a few ideas of what this is but I was hoping to have a little more definite answer. The main body of the coral in the picture is actually quite a bit darker red than what the picture shows.

It doesn't really have separate heads per se, just an encrusting mat. It's all one piece and each green dot has a small set of feeding tentacles

I'm feeling the war coral thing (Favites pentagona).
