Looks like some type of moon coral to me. I am not sure of what particular type or any scientific name. Good looking coral though.

The Brain, Green Maze has a brown, green, yellow color. Large polyp stony coral (LPS). It likes to eat filter feeding invert food, brine shrimp, micro-plankton a few times per week, when open. The Platygyra species is generally semi-aggressive toward other tankmates. Many consider the Platygyra species a low-maintenance specimen. Has moderate lighting needs. The Brain Worm Platygyra Coral, Bowl Coral, Closed Brain Coral, Pineapple Coral requires moderate water flow. Symbiotic algae zooxanthellae are hosted within this organism. Will extend tentacles at night, so provide space. Hardy. Keep water quality high (SG 1.023 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). The Brain, Green Maze is commonly collected from Tonga.

Excellant looking coral...I'm not a expert in ID's but it looks like some type of favia to me....lots of different types available.....but thats what it looks like anyway. I have a couple of favias in my reef...or at least thats what I think they are...

looks kinda like platygra....... many diff. kinds . if you have aquarium corals book, check page 298. looks similar, though the maze pattern is a little different. (i.e.open maze/closed?? maze). i agree with PA. hth
