This is red with yellow/orange polyps.
It has tiny montipora-like circle polyps and red skin that is smooth like a chalice.Under close inspection the skin has lines all over it.
It is an encrusting coral.
For some reason Elephant something is what I think it might be, but I think that coral does not have polyps like this.
I know this is not a chalice and not a montipora. So what exactly is this coral?

Did u get that from goldenbasket?
 
So maybe it is the elephant skin. Leptoseris seems to be close. But, I can not find a picture that resembles mine. All of the pics I found have polyps in uniform,side by side by side. This one has random polyps all over it,no pattern or anything to them.
Here is where I was looking if someone wants to help me out.
Cactus, Elephant Skin, Plate, Lettuce Corals of the Family Agariciidae, pt. 1
