Looks like a ficus. To prevent mold, I would remove those rocks, and water only when dry. Use the "chopstick" method for watering.

You may need to use a tool, like a butter knife, or a screwdriver to remove the rocks. Just chip away at them, and remove them, but be careful not to injure yourself. That's how I remove them, and hope that helps.
