it's stressed out so it could be a meteor shower, or goni, or something else.

It is a leptastrea. One of the purple with gold varieties I wish I had in my tank. Nice pickup.
Looks like a positive ID on the leptastrea
. Thanks guys. It probably is a little stressed. I wasn't sure what it was but it was an accidental order from the LFS and I had to have it, plus priced at $15. I read they like medium- low light with moderate flow. Hope it does good. Looking for a good place for it now. Wait till I post the 75% dead red open brain coral o got in the deal as well. Part of a "rescue mission" to say the least. It was once beautiful. Lost its mouth in the coral dip last night, thinking for sure its dead now, but just now noticed a possible new mouth!?! We will see.

Open brains are a tricky coral IMO. I've never had them do well long term. A general rule of recovery is stable, pristine water conditions.

Water conditions are great but doing a big water change tomorrow because it has been a little while since my last one. I do already have an open brain that I've had for years. Its a green one and has always done pretty fantastic even with my 2 clowns that host it. They are always rubbing and nestling in it. I really don't have high hope for this new guy but it has some great color and id love nothing more than to see it pull through. I did see a few tentacles extended today during feeding, but still not sure if it has a mouth. I'll post a pic of it...its so sad.
