There is no phase of the Moon that does exactly that every time, but approximately it is first-quarter, which is a half moon with the bright side to the west.
To rise at noon and set at midnight the Moon has to be around zero degrees declination (i.e. on the equator) and on the ecliptic 90 degrees behind the Sun. That happens around the summer solstice, June 21, or the winter solstice, December 21.

It appears half-full, and is growing ('waxing') as time goes on.

West. The first quarter moon rises about noon, is high in the sky at sunset, and sets around midnight.
IF There is a Full moon tonight which phase of the moon will you see in 15 days?
The period of the complete cycle of phases of the moon is about 29 days. So, exactly 15 days after the moment of Full Moon, it will have just passed New Moon. If you can see it at all at that time, it will be the skinniest possible crescent, very close to the sun in the sky.

What time does 3rd quarter moon rise?
The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.
