Looks like a slightly deflated majano anemone.

[glxtrix]

thing is tho, appearance wise, it never changes, majano have sweepers, this guy doesnt.

[Anemonebuff]

Looks like some sort of button polyp or small LPS coral. It appears to have septa.

[Amphiprion]

I agree with anemonebuff--it even appears to be a little anthocaulus.

looks like a baby plate coral(fungia short tentacle) to me.

[glxtrix]

well that would be cool. This thing magically appeared a few months back, have had that LR for over a year and a few months. I'll continue to watch it i guess so see what happens. i wish I could get a better closer pic, maybe I'll borrow someones camera to try to do so. Thanks guys

one thing you can do is see if it has a hard skeleton or if it is soft like a polyp.

[SDguy]

Can you feel any sort of skeletal structure if you touch it?

[glxtrix]

it does close up when I touch it, with a straw, and it does seem to have some sort of skeleton to it, kinda like a candycane coral

Well then yup, that'll rule out majano.

[boomsticks]

Button polyp, or maybe a ham and cheese sandwich...nah...can't be....

[glxtrix]

mmmmmm, ham and cheese

[glxtrix]

it's def not a button polyp, those dont have skeletons.

[glxtrix]
