Considering those are polyps on top I'm going to say it is most likely an SPS. The way those polyps are located (in the divots instead of on the top of the bumps, and not on the growing edge) lead me to believe it is a Montipora. That is all I am confident on without a real good macro photo. My best guess right now is either M palawanensis or M verrucosa, but yours looks a bit different than these that I have seen in person. I'm no expert SPS identifier though. Have you tried on Reef Central? They have some real SPS gurus on there!
