Montipora aequituberculata

I'm sure glad I tagged that coral with "(my ID)" as I labelled it several years ago when it came up on a piece of liverock on which my only attempt at a Blastomussa failed. This was before I got Veron's books, and you are at least more right than I am, it isn't a Porites after all, and it does have the central ridge as described in Veron, though it's a bit hard to see from my poor photo.
I might guess Psammocora superficialis, since it's more common, but it doesn't have the ridges.
Good eye Chris. Thanks!
