Help with making my undata look good

Just going by what I see. This photo compared to the first one with the polyp extension, they do not come close to being the same coral. The one in the photo below has several bare spots (like a undata typically has) but the first photo is absolutely covered in polyps and has no signs of bare spots.

Look closer Gary. Compare his first pic with the second, earlier pic he posted, and you can see that the shape/contours of the piece matches in both pics. The earlier (not by post, by chronology) pic is clearly an undata. In the original (first post) pic you can also see the bumps/open areas of tissue present amongst the monster polyps, albeit they are getting blocked quite a bit by the large polyps. There are, in fact, bare spots, just getting a bit overwhelmed by PE. Alvis and Gonis do not have these verrucae.

I agree with myzislow. OP should take a picture after agitating the polyps to get them to close up. Then we can see the bare base and have easier verification.
 
wow I hadnt been on in a few days and didnt expect to have so much controversy over this and that was not my intent I will not be making another post to try and discourage controversy I am sorry that I made a post that made so many people disagree with each other and me if you have anything relevant to say to help me I will still watch the post I am 100% sure both pics are the same coral and this is an undata the first pic I posted was from a while ago and it has grown some since but here is a photo after making the polyps close I didnt take a recent pic to post for ideas of whats going on I figured an old one could give people an idea of whats going on and be just as good

I've had this one for about 5 yrs. and it's been in so many systems that cant really say how to take care of it, more like "try to keep it alive" and go from there.
