I think this is an LPS, Favites species?... but I haven't been able to find any pictures resembling this color pattern.
Just making sure I'm not WAY off on the ID :? thanks!

That looks plain old fashioned live rock with lots of corline algea encrusted on it. I have a rock that has a similar pattern on it. It was just dead rock, then the corline grew on it and now it looks very similar to that.
 
Not Favia, Mussidae I think. Acanthastrea sp. more specifically.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for the help!
I got it to open up and eat a little tonight after lights out using info I found on Favia.

Here's a closeup of it, cheers.
