This was sold to me as a "midnight" montipora.
For the longest time I just thought it was a montipora with bumpy skin and crazy PE. Now, I've learned of another species called Astreopora. Could this be it?

For reference, here it is next to a sunset monti. The sunset is closer, so it looks larger, but the polyps on the coral in question are about twice the size of the monti.

Note the slightly raised corallites and bumpy skin.
