Are you sure, checking photos of Favites pentagonal doesn't look like this one . this one doesn't have color just the green dots and the body is just brown dark.

Is it new to your system? Color means very little (most of the time) when identifying a coral species, structurally yes that is what it looks like. Color could be off for a few reasons.

Yes, is new. So I need to wait until is adapted

Thank you again.

Looks like a Blasto
Edit: Actually now that I'm looking at it, it does look like a War Coral.

I too believe its Purple and Green War Coral (Favites pentagona)

No problem! That's the coral right? Not my photo, I just grabbed it off the net.

Yes, it looks like it is the coral you are telling me.

I'll wait a couple of weeks after the coral is adapted I'll try to take another photo to see closer.


Thanks

To hazard a guess with the photo, I would also say favia or war coral. May even be a christmas tree favia. Either way, just names. Closer picture would be better.
