Is there any way to get a zoomed in look at the polyps?

From a distance, there are 3-4 corals I can think of that have that lumpy semi-ridged look on a plating base. It could be a Pavona, or a Hydnophora or even a type of Montipora or several others. I have no size scale to relate to. What is the size of that piece?

To me, the middle looks like one of those "lumpy bumpy" Montiporas.

Really, a good look at the polyps would probably make it easy to at least guess the Genera
