Wow, I'm sure I have that exact same coral. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is. I'll be awaiting an answer as well.
 
Thanks, I've had it about a month and a half. I just took the pic today. I'm guessing it's wild because it has an Acro crab and no base, just a bit of rock. It also had some sort of snapping shrimp that I had to remove because it kept building a fabric-like tube throughout the base of the coral. I keep the coral on the sandbed in a 40 breeder (which is a pretty shallow tank) under a 250w Phoenix in a Lumenarc reflector. It's not in direct flow but gets enough flow to keep the polyps moving. As for the ID, you might have it. The only corals I know of with a shape like this are samoensis and humilis, and it looks more like samoensis on that site.

Yours looks really nice too, just no polyp extension. But I guess that's to be expected with a new coral.
