Another unknown coral (ID please)

[savoy]

Attached is a picture of a coral that lives on my live rock. It sits in a well-illuminated area and it is able to retract itself (but this only happens when you disturb it).

The total size of the coral is approximately 1 cm in diameter

Does anybody recognize it? Could it be favites?

do you have a less blurry picture by any chance?

Try looking up Astrangia but I really have no idea.

Any idea where the rock came from that it grew on?

Yes, I know the origin of the stone. It is from the indo-pacific.

The current picture is the best I was able to make. Note that it is very small, and this image is already taken with a macro lens.

Thanks all for the answers so far!

Since very small (baby?) corals tend to have exaggerated polyps, and not being able to see the coral's skeletal features, its all but impossible to take anything but a wild guess. If you have the time, this site might be able to help you out.
