This little coral apeared on this rock after it was in my tank for about 8 months. If it helps at all this rock is from bali.

Its alittle smaller than a dime now.
It retracts in to a hard skeleton.
Its growing on a tiny stem, the head is not atached to the rock.
The tenticles are not only around the mouth but go all the way to the edge of the head.
Its red with six white stripes running from the edge to the center.

Looks like a teenie tiny Fungia to me.

+1.

I was leaning toward that also.
But I havent seen one colored like this???
Are there striped fungia?

sell it to me!!!

Acanthophyllia possibly.

possible those stripes will go away as it matures but it looks like a baby fungia to me as well. cool little coral whatever it is tho.

I don't know what it is but damn sweet if you ask me

I agree, and you're so darn lucky to have it, i wish i could buy me one or 2 of them for my tank

Nice acan lord also!

Looks like a baby fungia, very nice coloration on that one!

I agree, love the acan. How many heads

The tentacles tell me Fungia, the stripes tell me Scolymia.

^ notice you're new brain. Welcome to the nanoreef world.

There are 8 heads with 4 or 5 baby heads also. I picked it up for only $15 from a semi local guy!!!! WHAT A DEAL!

It is a baby fungia and congratulations you have a plate growing site.. LEAVE IT ALONE. Do not touch it, do not try to take it off the rock it will fall off when its ready. All you need to do is feed it. Small pellet food works well. After this one falls off another one will sprout out of that spot on the rock. When it falls off leave it in the sand. The stripes are normal and a very pretty pattern. Plates come in different patterns and colors.
