Anyone know what the proper name for this coral is? Also a good price for it? Thank you.

Looks like pink prism favia coral and yes referred to as war coral in some cases.
 
I can't tell from the photo, is the coral a solid "rock" like formation or is more like stalks? Asking, because it looks a little like blastomussa merletti to me though I haven't seen a huge piece like that in many many years.

Also looks like a blasto to me. Very nice piece!

If that’s aiptasia I would try to remove it before it does anymore damage to the colony.
 
given this coral has separate walls it would be a favites, not a favia which have shared walls.

However, I dont believe this coral is either of those, Im in agreement with it being blastomussa merletti
 
I would say with some certainly that it's a blasto merletti. I have a number of large colonies like this for reference.
