It's is not tabling but branching upward so I think Acropora nana or maybe Acropora azurea.
It's not growing upward, it just looks like it is because of the way the farmers decided to mount it. I'd mount that piece sideways if it were mine. Looks like it its either going to be an efflo or soli like previously mentioned.

Thanks folks for the id.

I have since fragged it in two and mounted them horizontally.

By the way, it's not bleached and has thickened and grown longer branches since I last took this photo. It just happens to be a lightly coloured specimen.
