Identification

[Spottedreef69]

Found this today just wondering if anyone knows what it is. It is coming out of a tube.

Not a coral expert, but it looks like some species of young Acropora. When you say tube, are you talking about the elongated green “arms” with polyps at their ends?

Looks like toadstool to me is it soft

@Spottedreef69 is the organism calcified/stony or is it squishy? Assuming it’s Acropora (perhaps Acropora speciosa, though again I could be very wrong), the “main body” and tube-like corallites should be hard while the polyps should be squishy. Assuming it’s a toadstool coral or Majano anemone, the whole organism should be squishy.
What I assume are the polyps circled in green:

Yes all parts are soft except for the tube. Yes polyps at the end.

Grow it out see what happens imo it looks like a tiny toad nub that is making a comeback but I’m no expert.

Is it on a plug?

 

[Spottedreef69]

Is it on a plug?

I glued the tube to an old plug.

 

[encrustingacro]

It looks like a soft coral seeing that it has 8 tentacles
