Can you please ID this coral?

[JAMSOURY]

I bought this at a frag meet but I never got it to grow out or look like when I got it. It’s still surviving, it’s just not extended in anyway. Thanks!!

Looks like a sun coral?

Or acan? Needs some nurturing. Water change might help.
What's your water parameters

Definitely needs some nurturing as said above. Supplemental feedings as well as good water quality should help. Do you have any pictures of what it looked like when it was more extended?

I'm going with a single polyp of micromussa lord. Is it getting blasted with flow? I notice a skeleton next to it, is it from that colony by chance? A positive ID is going to be difficult at this point.

It's a non photosynthetic coral but hard to id exactly. Looks too big to be a sun and it's most likely a fathead dendrophyllia but ones that's been bashed up a little. They need direct feeding and lots of food to do well.

Gonna have to take care of it and see what it expands to be. I really don’t have any pics of it but I picked it out so it must have looked cool to me lol I’m working on getting my water nice and steady. I noticed at night with no light, it starts to come out a little more.

Place it in a low light area it will help + some TLC & direct feeding. You can used a water bottle just cut the bottom off and get a turkey baster. Cover the corals w/ the bottle & insert food just enough that it will be eaten in a few minutes best way to spot feed. Don't forget your weekly partial water changes replenishing minerals & supplements sometimes that's all corals need instead of all the advance dosing.

Cool that’s an awesome tip to spit feed. Gonna give it a try!
