Not sure what it is, but it doesn't look happy. Is it truly white, or is the picture just playing tricks on my eyes? And are those polyps I see sticking out, or is it just the skeleton. White coral = bleached coral = stressed coral. Without closer pictures, my range of guesses would be something like a pocilipora, acropora, stylophora (maybe)... something along those lines.

Oh... well... asking the store is usually a much better option, when available!

It actually looks like a carnation to me. I'm no expert by any means, but bought one that was mis-labeled when I first started my tank.
