After receiving a few suggestions that’s it’s Favia, realizing this should be posted on the LPS forum.

Diploastrea heliopora, not Favia. TRUE Favia don't exist in the hobby as they come from the West Atlantic, where it is illegal to collect stony corals. True Favia are also pretty dull in coloration, so there wouldn't be any incentive to collect them either.

have you tried using a orange filter for your camera? If you can’t get your hands on one, check out the aquarium cam app, it’ll allow you to use the filter, and make for a better quality picture.

It looks like a coral found commonly in the trade.
Maybe this?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
