The back story
This is a unique Cyphastrea. It was a tiny hitchhiker that I stated growing 15 years ago. It's a rapid grower, but somewhat difficult to frag because it is very thin and tends to shatter if not handled very gently. All of the mother Colonies and frags originated from the tiny hitchhiker. It is a coral that obviously changes color dramatically based upon light intensity and spectrum.

I have one very similar. Sadly it seems to grow very slow for me. I have in low light maybe should move it. Been afraid to because as you say it is stupid thin and breaks so easy. Looks awesome though
