It's difficult to say from the photo. I think maybe a blastomussa, but I can never remember which is smaller - welsi or merletta (sp? On both)

My first guess would have been a Favia sp.
As with most things "coral", it can be pretty difficult to narrow down much further without a DNA sample. Try using "favia coral" (green favia would narrow it even further) as a search term in Google and go through the images - you may find a few that are pretty close to yours. These come in veritable rainbow of colors. Cheers, Ray
