Hi all
From my very limited experience, I would say this is Blastomussa.
I can see there is some tissue that does not look so healthy. Why do you think that is?

I agree that it’s likely a blasto and it looks rough. May be from inappropriate fragging. How long have you had the frag? What are your tank parameters? How much light is it getting?

Looks more like a Favia or Favites to me.

I second favia/favites

I’ve had it for around 5 days. You think too much light is a possibility?

What would you guess is wrong with it?

Would you be able to take a few more pictures preferably in white light? It would really help to see what might be happening.

Favites cf flexuosa; looks relatively fine

Like mentioned above the damage is probably due to fragging. Sometimes you get a clean cut, sometimes you don't.

As long as your parameters are within reason and the lighting is sufficient the tissue will regrow over those areas. It might take a few months or so, but it can happen. GL.

I was asking because I could kind of see the rough damage from cutting from the beggining. But these few bits I know mark in this picture are new
