Coral ID on Live Rock

[bigeyetuna]

Does anyone have an idea of what this coral may be? It is a small penny size spot on my live rock which has expanded since I first setup the tank 3 months ago. BTW, the rock is from Indonesia.

Hopefully someone can send you in the right direction on this one.

Very cool hitchhiker! :thumbsup: I have a bunch of fungias growing on a rock I bought. The best corals are unexpected free corals IMO.

do the polyps stay open like that all the time?

 

[bigeyetuna]

As Far as I know they do. I haven't looked at it with lights out, but it seems to always be open with lights on.

Looks like a type of favites with the polyps/sweepers expanded.
