Does it get really hairy? Could be Hydnophora rigida.

Not even sure it's a Sps the person I got it from thinks it's a Sps so I mounted it standing up, I believe it could be a branching favia but I am not expert.
I don't think their is a such thing as a branching favia

Looks like a psammocora to me
It's not a Hydnophora. Hydnophora has a very distince corallite shape, which does not match the photo.
I'd suggest researching Merulina ampliata

Pavona decussata or Cactus coral.
I stand corrected, that does look a lot closer than a psammocora
It took me awhile to find it, sifting through my photos, but here's an old photo of a Hydnophora I used to have. All Hyndophora show this very distinctive "pyramid" shaped corallite...
I'm leaning towards Psammacora, Pavona or Muralina...
