Ya, those were my thoughts too, especially based on the picture I posted. I was thrown off by your picture. I couldn't quite tell from behind all that crazy PE you had going on there; all the PE made it look like there were quite a few more corallites and made me wonder if it was just the picture I had that made it look like it should have fewer polyps spaced further apart.

Thanks for the ID help!
