Coral identification

Just wondering if anyone could identify this coral?

It's all white and has been like that since I bought it, it seems like a alveolapora but it's really small and doesn't extend out far. This image is zoomed in to see it better.

If you count the tentacles around the oral disc, there are 12, which designates it as Alvepora...Goniopora would have 24.
