here we go sorry for the miss types

 

[Bcollins111900]

acan lord... if it is small. Almost looks like a mini scolymia but still saying it is a acan lord.

 

[bluewatr24]

its the size of a quater i have other acans but this has a syem its growing from

a stem huh? could you get a pic of it, and the coral when its retracted?

 

[paininthewrasse]

at this point im leaning towards a scolymia..

 

[Hormigaquatica]

probably belongs to family Faviidae or Mussidae. Bout as close an ID as you can get without a skeleton shot for a small, single polyp. Give it a few months to grow out to get a little better idea of what it may be if skeleton isnt an option.

On a stem.. maybe even a baby lobo or something?

 

[bluewatr24]

Ill get back to you guys tonight with the extra photos of the stem its an aggressive eater i know that it ate a nice size sliver of scallop

Interesting looking. My thought is Lobophyllia perhaps...

 

[bluewatr24]

treat it like the rest of the LPS I have daily feedings

I have a pink lobophyllia hemprechii that looks just like that. Has the large polyp head and the skeleton base. Eats large meaty items.
