So I saw this coral in the tank of a restaurant and was not sure what is what. At least as far as the color, I had not seem one like this. It did not look bleached so I think this is the natural color.
Can anyone help me to know what it is and where it might be available?

Looks like a bleached frogspawn. Definitely a LPS, probably in the euphyllia family.

I had tried to look up blue euphyllia corals and blue frogspawn and never found anything like it. That's why I posted the pic.

Don't look for one like it... it's not healthy at all. Very very bleached. It's in a customer's tank (assuming this is a tank maintained by a LFS) versus the LFS because they know they can't (or shouldn't) sell it.

I agree, very bleached frogspawn. Probably very pretty when it was healthy, it has a bunch of heads. If it is not attended to soon, the heads will probably start to die off, they are already not opening fully (assuming this pic was taken a little while after the lights were turned on). You see one like that in a store, stay away, can be rehabilitated, but not worth the financial risk.
