Stony coral hitchhiker.

[cpoynter]

I just found a stony coral hitchhiker living under a mushroom. I’ve relocated the mushroom in hopes of growing the coral, but need help identifying it. I’m having a hard time get a better photo of it because of the location, but it glows a minty green under actinic lights. The whole colony is about the size of a pea and has seven polyps that each have their own chamber on a white stony base.
Does any have an idea what this could be?

While I do agree it looks like a majano, but Im seeing separate mouth/discs right next to/nearly on top of eachother

Kinda looks like a startof alveopora maybe?

OP, can you make it close up/ retract so we could see if it has a skeleton?

Here’s a photo of it’s skeleton. Again, apologies for the low quality, but it’s an odd angle.

Looks like an alevopora to my peepers

Could you confirm the number of lashes please on each polyp plz?

I will have to wait for it to open further, but I was able to get a better photo angle. The whole colony is about the size of a pea

Looks like 12 lashes.

That looks a bit like alvelola

Looks like 12 lashes.

Definitely a alveopora as mentioned before
