Coral ID

I'm looking for someone to identify this for me. I have never seen a coral quite like this one so I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks in Advance.

Could be Cyphastrea or Montasrea maybe, But its really hard to tell from the pic.

It is always that size but the polyps come out a fair bit at night. I found it in a book I have so I know believe it is Astreopora sp. aka pebble coral.

Thanks. Even nicer in person. The pic didn't capture its actual color very well.
