Hitchiker coral.. any ideas?

[Matt850]

Got a new coral or rather a fragment of a coral that come in on a zoanthid colony i bought and I wanted to know what you experts think it may be? If you need a different picture I will try to get a better one but this is the best i have atm. (far left side, whatever it is its of the plating variety)

Looks like some type of LPS. That's all I can come up with. Keep an eye on those zoas they don't look too good.

Thanks for chiming in, I will check in the lps section. About the zoas, yeah I know... they just came in not 30 minutes ago... I think they will pull through no problem, just a nasty trip it seems.

Merulina(sp) they have long feeder tentacles so it would be best to move it before it gets larger.

I think it is pavona maldivensis.

Of the images I can find of pavona maldivensis it appears as though my coral is more striated than these..... although I just found another pic that looks very similar other than the fact that mine appears to be encrusting... It does indeed look like some of the pavona pics I have seen, just not maldivensis.

My first thought was also Pavona.
