probably belongs to family Faviidae or Mussidae. Bout as close an ID as you can get without a skeleton shot for a small, single polyp. Give it a few months to grow out to get a little better idea of what it may be if skeleton isnt an option.

Interesting looking. My thought is Lobophyllia perhaps...

I have a pink lobophyllia hemprechii that looks just like that. Has the large polyp head and the skeleton base. Eats large meaty items.
