LPS or Manjo?

It looks to be a coral polyp. You can see corallites next to to it, and I can see what looks like the corallite wall and some septa within the tissue. There are many, many species of little cup corals like this from a few families. It's one of them.

Do you think?
I'll have to research that.
I went out and got a mini hex for it and pulled some sand, live rock and water out of the tank for him. He seems to be doing ok with the move. I figure he can have the tank to himself. Agressive or not, repopulate or not. This morning under flouresant lighting he is showing color, it's slight. He's looking like he might turn dark with green rings around the base of the tenacles.

That was my very first thought as well, but since this guy moves 'alot' that kinda rules out corals.

These are different than my guy, close and possibly related. My guys have yet to show any base under them. They are flat on the rock just like my flowers or LTA. Iwas reading in one of my book's "the reef aquarium by J Charles Delbeek and Juliun Sprung". They say that LTA's will reproduce 2 ways depencing on location gathered. Both spawning and division. Kinda wonder if maybe these are the result of a spawn?
I have the common purple tip LTA and it does not exhibit curly tenacles and it has alot more tenacles. However this guy is growing more tenacles on the outer ring. Not real sure what an immature version would look like. I suspect it would resemble the parent more?

Of course as soon as I say that he decides to change rocks and is showing a base.
I'm going to go with Curly Cue. For now, until he matures more. Hopefully your right and he can be identified. It would just make life much simpler.. BG
Thank you Matt
