Looks a lot like the "War Coral" aka Favites pentagona

I'm quite new at this but if your not certain what it is... should you be keeping it next to other corals?

favites pentagona (aka: War Coral) really easy to spot, they have five sided polyps... the red with green eyes is a very common coloration for this coral

one of my favorite LPS/all around corals.

sucker loves to eat... feed it little tiny meaty bits... brine shrimp are perfect, this will help it grow, they are not fast growers... medium light/flow
