What's up guys, if anyone takes the time to check this out and knows what this is I'd appreciate it tremendously. My brother gave me this frag because he said his angel was picking at it. He has no idea either. Sorry for pic quality iPhone cam blows. My eyeball guess is some type of favite, but I could be completely wrong. Thanks in advance.

For sure a lps. Can't see them well but maybe favia.
Thank you for the response. And yeah I'm sure it's in the favidae family almost positive it's a favite. I just wondered if someone else out there has it and can definitively id it or has a name for it or something. I'm just very curious. Thanks though boss
 
Color should not matter. Potentially any coral could have any combination of coloration. In some cases the color might help lead you in the right direction for a species ID, but it shouldn't be a factor in the final decision.

Ok thank you once again, and that last bit of information is duly noted. I know true accurate identification comes from skeletal examination, I don't know why I thought that would help. You are dead on though after reviewing many pictures I think that I have a baby leptastrea frag.
