Looks like LPS coral to me. Perhaps a frogspawn or a hammer?

Bubble coral (Plerogyra sinuosa) I believe, just different variety. Google images of Bubble Coral and scroll down.

Does it look healthy ?

It looks fine.

You'll want to keep an eye on Ca/Alk/Magnesium level when you start to acquire stony corals such as the Bubble coral.

looks like a type of hairy mushroom to me. Either way, monitor alk/cal/mag.

+1 on the bubble coral . lower flow and lighting you can also feed these some meaty foods. and it looks healthy
