Torch or Anemone?

[SuncrestReef]

I have a zoanthid colony that has something growing in the middle of it. It's brown with glowing green tips, and sort of looks like a tiny torch coral, but I'm starting to wonder if it's a type of anemone. Any thoughts?

 

[Ranjib]

my bet will be with some kinda of anemone, lets see #reefsquad

Definitely not a torch, possibly an anemone.

It doesn't look quite right, but I'd guess it is a majano anemone.

 

[Dsnakes]

Majano maybe? Definitely not aiptasia or torch. The tips almost look like galaxia, but the mouth not so much.

 

[Crabs McJones]

Majano gets my vote as well

Can't be an anemone since it has multiple mouths and fused polyps/corallites. My guess is it's some sort of "fleshy" stony coral but I hesitate to narrow it down past that. Maybe, just maybe, it's in the vastly expansive family of Faviidae (or as it's correctly called, Mussidae)

I am admittedly terrible with these pictures. I can't even see anything I would positively identify as a mouth.

Possibly a favia trying its hardest not to be covered by the zoas?

I agree some sorta lps

I removed the colony from my display tank so I could get a better look at it. This new macro photo shows it's definitely some sort of coral, maybe a favia?

 

[Paleozoic_reefer]

Almost looks like a Galaxia Coral...

 

[Oshengems]

Def looks like some type of favia/favites(cant tell those 2 apart)

 

[Sea MunnKey]

leaning towards Favia ...

 

[declanisadog]

Cool! I agree. Favia.

I'm just relieved to see it's not an invasive anemone!
