Doesn’t look like a ZOA thou, usually you can see the individual polyp when close. I’m not going to take a guess because nothing comes to my mind but I don’t think that's a ZOA, if you touch the base of the coral is it hard or soft?

good luck!

Judging by the mat (coenenchyme) underneath, it looks more like Palythoa.
