If it came from Australia it was probably maricultured and doesn't have a trade name. You might be able to find something similar that a coral seller has named, but I doubt it will be something common or easily recognized like PC Rainbow or Red Planet.

It does look nice though :)

He might be asking about the species name. I'm no expert but the shape and arrangement of the corallites suggests Acropora granulosa to me.
