A less washed out blue picture would help, plus maybe helping say what in the pic you need ID’d.

I’m thinking retracted galaxia coral. Does it have polyps that extend out more and sway?

buddy lives · Nov 6, 2018

Not yet at least

Agreed that it’s a galaxea. fairly hardy coral. It is one that makes a skeleton as it grows so it will be consuming calcium and alkalinity out of the water. While it’s small that won’t be a problem but as it gets bigger you may need to start dosing chemicals once water changes alone can’t keep up. Also, galaxea are notorious for sending out sweepers that can sting and kill other corals. Check on it at night after the lights are out and you may see them. You’ll want to be careful about what you put near it or it may be stung to death.
