I think that's referred to as an "elephant skin" coral. Here you go.

I was looking at that exact piece on Sunday! I was wondering who bought it out from under me...

Scott at Elmer's told me it is Pachyseris rugosa.

I don't believe that is Pachyseris Looks closer to what I believe is a type of (edit) leptoseris, but I have had no luck with a firm ID

Very debatable id here as his look more to the Pachyseris rugosa due to the existing valleys and ridges when I was having one that size. Now, 2 yrs later growth like this
