I would say it's a Porites species. The species are really tough to distinguish apart because the differences that lye in the corallite structure.
Here is an example of Porites densa.
Corals of the World Factsheet and images - Porites densa

Most Porites tend to look good under extreme amounts of light and water flow. Being brown i would suggest gradually moving it in the full light. I have had mounding species of Porites that i bought brown before and eventually got them very close to the halide lamp and it developed A yellow base, green rim and neon pink spots on the very top. But that took some time, like 6 months.
