It looks like it could be to me, But I'm not sure. Maybe John Kelly will step in here and lend you a hand.

It certainly looks like an encrusting Goniopora, but I don't think I've ever seen one quite that orange. It may be dyed or possible bleached?

Try to entice it out with some cyclop-eeze in the water and then carefully place some around the coral to see if it will eat.

Definitely a Goni- stutchburyi, burgosi, or plamensis most likely
Small foods(oyster eggs,rotifers, cyclop-eeze), moderate flow, moderate to strong light. Iron supplement.

Good Luck!
