Please Help me identify this coral!

[Bamb00grl]

Hello! I'm brand new to the hobby. I have a nano 15 gal tank running for about 9 months now. I got this new coral from reefapalooza, but I forgot the name of the coral. Please help me identify it. It seems to be an encrusting coral. It goes all the way around the plug. I think it maybe some sort of monti. Polyps are big orange color.

When the polyps close its purple. I need to find out what are the light requirements for it.

Thanks a bunch!
