Is this a coral?

[chrisn]

Can anyone please tell me if this is a coral and if so what type? Cheers

 

[Bwils]

Could be an anemone, maybe a manjo?

 

[AnotherReefHobbyist]

Definitely a coral..... what type, no idea, but here’s a free bump.

Check to see if it has a skeleton. Almost looks like a little fungia plate

Looks a little like a fungia. Does it have a skeleton?

IanK beat me to it...​

If so, they prefer to be on the sand bed.

Plate coral

Definitely fungia coral.

Thanks for reply. It has no skeleton. just started growing out of the rock. I have just found another one that has just recently started growing off another rock too.

If you are certain it has no skeleton I’m not certain it’s a fungia then. They definitely have one.

Definitely looks like a majano to me.

My first thought was majano but it doesn't have bubbles. There are alot of variations of aptasisa maybe a colorful species of pest anemone.

 

[LegendaryCG]

Well that second picture looks like a pest anenome to me.

Doesn't really look like any of the majanos I've seen (I've seen a lot - my tank is overrun with the ugly brown ones) and it's certainly not an Aiptasia.

On the plus side, it's moderately good looking.

On the minus side, if it does turn out to be a pest, you may have insane amounts of them before you realize that fact.

I'd probably let it ride ... but that's just me.
