What is this coral?

[joetekyun]

Hey guys, I found this frag on a rock that I brought into my tank with a bunch of other soft coral. What is this? It's growing slowly but surely.

looks like a mushroom to me

It looks like a chalice. Is there a hard skeleton underneath, or is it just tissue? If there is no skeleton than it could be a 'shroom.

no skeleton underneath. looks almost like its budding like a ricordia right?

I dont think it is a ric but i belive it to be a shroom. It looks very interesting.

I'll go with discosoma.

 

[ReefFreak3652]

possibly Rhodactis

I would guess

Rhodactis sanctithomae

If I'm right you should start to see more bubble like things coming out of the top of it as it grows larger.
