My guess would be Monipora palawensis, possibly "Appleberry Montipora."

I am thinking L.A. Lakers monti. That assumption is based upon the colors. The growth pattern does look like an Appleberry, though.

No, i got a pallawanensis appleberry and it is not the same, i bought it like a blue monti but it turns green, i think that is some kind of confusa but it grows differently

i find a page and i think that is very similar or the same coral, what do you think?

The AE Atlantis you showed the picture of seems to have a more ridged growth pattern around the polyps than the piece you actually have, in my opinion. I think I have seen another monti with similar colors called the "Dinosaur Egg." Perhaps check that one out.

Thank you so much Ralph, i had a colony of dinosaur egg long time ago and the pattern is so diferent, the dinosaur egg seems so similar to appleberry palawanensis but colors are different, i bought my frag from a friend and his colony grows like a plate, i will wait to look its growth
