Is that a big zoa under my zoa's?

[jonliebo]

That disc coral under my zoa's was hardly noticeable when I got them -- wondering if it's also a zoa, or is it something else?

Almost looks like a plate coral

I think it's fungia for sure.

Nope, just happy to see you!

Sure it’s not an anemone? Does it retract if you touch it?

Base looks too perfectly disc like for a nem, I think. My guess would be plate coral as well.

I don't think it's a nem. I imagine it would retract if I touch it -- I'll ask one of my kids to try.

Another view. Wondering if it and my Devil's Hand will be unfriendly neighbors.

+1 on it most likely a plate...

Looks like the zoas will be overtaking it at some point, unless it gets a big growth spurt soon.

Definitely fungia plate coral, great score

A rare welcome hitch-hiker!

Easily popped off and placed on the sand bed, use bone cutters.

Jackpot !!! Fungia , ok so you have a "stem" which is the little bone the plate is attached too, they will grow in fine with each other and eventually the plate will fall off the stem , youll have a perfect plate and the "stem" will grow new ones forever , same process over an over .... Congrats !!!
