Advice and hitch hiker ID?

[MusMusculus]

Sorry about the low quality pic. I just noticed this guy (can I get an ID?) on a rock I got in this week from floridaliverocks.com . It is about an inch wide and is currently sitting in a medium-high flow area directly under a 250w MH (14" water depth). Should I move the rock or is this OK? Thanks.

That looks like a small Rose Coral (Mancinia). You should probably keep it in a lower current area and under a little less light. They are a pretty difficult coral to get ahold of, since they are not collected from the wild due to US collection restrictions.

Thanks! I'll move its rock into a back corner. Hopefully it does well.
