Looks like Blue coral, Heliopora coerulea to me.

oh wait, this does look like it. I found this pic on the site for the national park of american samoa (http://www.nps.gov/npsa/NPSAcorl/Helcoeru.htm)

nice score for that piece of LR... can anyone tell me about this specis (light, flow, size, etc?)

Sweet rock. SPS- needs strong light intensity with fairly strong water flow; will probably enjoy phytoplankton. Make sure your calcium is at least 400. I shoot for 450, cause usually bu the time I get around to dosing it is down to about 400.

I agree with the ID. It's called blue coral because the skeleton is blue. If you have Borneman's 'Aquarium Corals' there's a pic that shows this quite nicely.
