Not sure if LPS, what is this coral and what lighting intensity does it like?

Tubastrea

Quite difficult to keep long term in typical reef aquariums as they are not photosynthetic and need to be fed regularly.
 
+1 on the sun coral.

note that Frenchy said it's non- photosynthetic - ie. forget about lighting requirements. In fact, lighting might discourage it from opening up and feeding. This coral needs a mature tank so that it can feed on the zooplankton in the water column.

It can be trained to open up for daylight feeding, but, IMO, this is a coral for an advanced aquarist
