Need help with Identity of Coral please...

[slugwall]

I don't know what this coral is, I bought some rubble and I noticed that this was growing from it... What would I feed this new item in my tank?

It is slightly smaller than a dime...

Thanks

It's a lps not Sps as for what it is??? Duncan or blasto maybe...

 

[Cubbies]

I want to say Blasto as well. Either way it is an LPS. Feed it meaty foods and start it on the sand bed.

Blasto was the 1st thing that came to my mind as well

Caulastrea sp. (candy cane)

 

[slugwall]

Thanks for the reply! It's in the sand with 3 other dead branches attached to it, now that I know what it is I can take care of it.

I was leaning toward candycane but it could be a blasto. I know a candycane head has that sort of skeleton when it receeds.

Whatever it is, the color looks like a nice deep purple. Good find there for sure!

i also thought trumpet /candycane, but a blasto could be it also not too sure since i dont own any blastos

After looking at a lot of trumpet/candycane coral, I would have to agree that this is a very stressed out trumpet and candycane...
I will post a smaller pic so the detail will look better I think.... maybe seeing the whole frag will help too...
