First reef tank here. New live rock and noticed some corals perhaps that came along... Can you tell me what this is? Pretty cool to watch. They open very very slowly and if you didn't pay attention you wouldn't notice that they are even moving. They'll close up all the way and just have a dot in the middle or open up all the way and look like a funnel almost.

Welcome to R2R. Possibly a cup coral if it has a skeletal base.

Interesting! So when doing an image search for cup coral I see a lot of colors. Is it possible that the lack of color is due to it being so small or perhaps this being a newly established tank?

Thanks!

I believe there are clear ones or different species but it could also be from lack of light.

Cool, looking forward to watching it's progress.. Hopefully I don't kill it.

Thanks
