Coral I.D

[Brianscherer]

I've looked everywhere to figure out what this guy is, its pretty small still about the size of a nickel. Last time I asked on here someone said blasto but I don't think so I have blasto's and looks nothing like it.

Favia/favites perhaps?

I have both favia an Favites and it doesn't seem to behave in the same manner. Also it's ball shaped not sure if that helps with I.D.

So I assume if you asked before and you let it grow in your aquarium, it's not caused any problems? I would definitely do more research to find out what it is

Not really better pics however it is on a frag plug. what was your original purchase and have these overtaken growth, looks like usual zooanthoids but species is hard to tell as so many variations, if your unsure then I would say remove, I assume this is just a normal zoo as it was left to grow in aquriam

 

[Brianscherer]

Not zoo's, this pic is the most it will close up when irritated. It just tightens into a ball.

Also it's slow growing, been in tank for a couple months.

There are a few to look at. Goniastrea and acanthastrea as above posted said, to compare
