I am having a hard time iding that.. I dont think cyphastrea the bumps would be corallites but when I first looked at it I resembled on too.
Might be easier if we could see the polyps.
The bumps remind me of verrucae that would be on a montipora like a danae but the polyps/corallites are so uniform around the verrucae and don't look right or are very hard to see in that pic to be Danae but it might be something close if it is even montipora. The coralites are throwing me off, they are so uniform.

I think stylaster nailed it. Looks like hydnophora possible microconos.

Well, thanks for the info. ya'll nailed it. I bought it because I didn't know what it was and thought it looked cool. Now I don't want it...lol The info attached to Frick's reply says the polyps come out at night, so I will try to get a pic of it after lights out.
