Not sure what category this one even falls under to put it in the correct forum...
Any thoughts? Thought Psammacora, but the polyps don't come fully out, looks KIND of like a porite I have, but drastically different colors....an encrusting of some type
Any thoughts?

My initial thought was a cyphastrea but I’m thinking the polyps are much smaller than they appear in the pic.

My second thought is a type of Montipora verrucosa but still not 100%
 
Polyps don't "tube out" or extend like cyphastrea, when it's polyps recede, you can still see the color really well, plus it has all these little "bumps" so possibly the verrucosa?
