. But, I don’t know what it is???
Looks like a rock flower.
As in anemone Sean?
yes. It's totally a guess though.
Let grow and find out. Could be rose. Could be any number. I understand there’s still a small variety of LPS in the Carribean other than what we commonly think of
Looks like a blasto too but I don't know if they have those in the Caribbean.
Could be a Carribean scoly

Hmm hard telling in all honesty still. Good to know it’s still alive
Yeah, kind of perplexing.

Looks now like common Caribbean star coral now. Maybe Oculina Robusta maybe. Comes in on Caribbean aquaculture rock pretty regularly. It is cool since it is the only way you can get it. Usually very brown though.
Look at second picture.

Just for the record, the first picture in this quoted post (and the first post of this thread) is the coral in question. The second picture in the quoted post, I agree, is likely Oculina Robusta.
I'm not sure the coral in question is Oculina Robusta. In @shred5 link above it states that Oculina Robusta, "They prefer low light, turbid flow and nutrient filled water." The coral in question is on the mid-upper section of the rock directly under a 175 watt MH. Who knows I'll just keep an eye on it and see where it goes.
