hidden cup coral?

I have this coral and have gotten different ID's on it. Some say hidden cup coral, others say closely related to Rhizo, balano, or dendro relative. There is no frags or for coral like this for sale from what I have found. Just gauging interest what kind of value does something like this hold? Here's a pic.

Do you happen to have a picture of it closed up? that would definitely help better with an ID.. for something like that my guess is its worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

If its really got a skeleton I'd say its more related to a dendro

Does your skeleton look like this when closed?

When it opens up it looks like your coral

Look close to yours? I still think phyllangia sp.

Hidden cups also have a skeleton.
