Its a Montipora peltiformes. Fairly common encrusting monti although yours has better than average coloration for sure :).

Agreed. I have this coral and the polyps remain blue on the edges, but the green has since turned brown. I believe if I got my PO4 under .005ppm I could get the original color back. Right now my PO4 is around .03ppm.(that is with water changes and PO4 resins.)
