This started as a spec growing under a frag plug. I thought it might turn into a galaxia but instead it's forming into a single LPS coral that's about 1" wide. It "acts" like a mushroom but there's a skeleton under and has a single mouth in the center. It doesn't open like a brain with tentacles at night... it just closes up like a mushroom. Ideas?

 
I have a microscope, ill look at it if you send it to me ;Happy

Very cool hitch hiker!! Maybe th vendor/person you got the frag from would know what it is?
 
Hi, looks like a Rhodactis or or other mushroom/disc to me. Most similar to Rhodactis inchoata.
