I think it's some type of encrusting montipora... It's nice looking that's for sure.

I agree that it most likely an encrusting Montipora sp.. I doubt that we can come up with the species name. A clearer picture would be nice. Seem very beautiful.
Want to trade a frag of this for a frag of one of the corals in my tank?

Looks like it could be a form of Nodosus...
