Looks like a pavona to me based on the striations but would it be possible to take a picture with flash? It’s really hard to see the roughness of the surface which may help in this case.

Looks like a lepto. Possibly something close to a jack-o-lantern lepto

Leptoseris cf mycetoseroides
I'm going with Pachyseris, elephant skin coral
Pachyseris has "zig-zag"-like walls like this:

Encrusting monti-cap?
As far as I know, there are no TRUE Montipora capricornus in the hobby; all are just other foliose species of Montipora
Pavona maldivensis has exert corallites, which this coral does not have
