Hello Folks!

Any ideas? Hopefully the picture is clear enough. I'm thinking some kind of coral but hell if I know...

Thanks!

Hard to tell but looks like some sort of sponge...

How does it feel to the touch? Slimey tissue over a hard skeleton? Does it look like there's a mouth in the middle of it? A little slit? I'm not really sure, but a baby fungia coral did come to mind first.

That was my first thought as well.

Can you pull it out of the tank, place it into a container of tank water and take a few more, clearer shots?

It does feel like a slimy surface over a hard skeleton. When I first noticed it, it looked like a sand dollar that you'd find dried up on the beach, but now it has this green tissue with projections surrounding it. I'll try to get better pictures under white light.

looks/sounds like baby fungia to me as well
