I got this in a trade with a LFS for some pandora and captain jerk paly frags. Everything I see points to some type of rainbow favia?
 
Its a favites. There are lots of them available on the market so it may just be one without a name. Still very cool though!
 
Favites cf pentagona, not Favia. True Favia doesn't exist in the hobby, as they only occur in the Atlantic, where it is illegal to collect stony corals. What we call "Favia" are actually a bunch of different merulinid brain coral genera--most of them being Dipsastraea.
