not sure where to post this...

This is a hitchhiker(freebie)... Some sort of LPS, originaly thought it was some kind of mussa, but this has a skirt/tentacles. First pic, I purposly ticked it off so you could see the skeleton of it, second pic shows the skirt/tentacles. There is also some epizoanthus in the pic so you can get an idea of the size of these things. They are tiny, 1/4".

the polyps are way to small to be either of those.

I swear it looks like some favia i used to have..Could it be a war coral or is that still the same thing?

I just came across another post on the LPS board, and they were talking about Leptastrea pruinosa. I remember somebody saying something about that when I was getting the rock, so Im betting it was next to the one I got and spread over to it. Its in the same family as faviidae, so its a cousin to favia. Ive got a war coral, they dont have tentacles like this one.
