I believe the seller said “I think it’s some type of loom”. I think looms still have polyp pocket/crevice and this appears to have none, which is similar to a setosa or other encrusting montipora. But the shape appears to be branching unless it is an encrusting montipora that happened to grow over the dead branch of another SPS. Possibly an an acropora. What do you think?

@thamnasteroid would possibly know.

It doesn't look like an Acropora to me but there are so many different varieties that it's a possibility.

Growth pattern might be a Digitata variety.
 
my guess is a really deformed Acro, but too deformed to tell.
