HELP ID coral hitchhiker

[Newstead]

I have gone through ID pics and found similar, but not exact, coral hitchhikers, but no definitive ID.

I noticed it a week ago on the side of a rock branch that had orange zoas on it, which melted several months ago. I thought at first it was one of the green zoas on the other branch, but when it grabbed a tiny piece of mysis I looked closer and realized it was no zoa.  Hard to get a good pic, but included ones under daylight, eating the mysis & blues. It flouresces green under blue lights.

Some type of anemone perhaps? It is the size of a small zoa now.

Really hard to tell from those pics. My first guess would be a plate factory. AKA baby fungia. Try to get some better pics.

[Newstead]

Best I could get with my Samsung. It is fleshy, could see the sides moving a bit in the flow.

 

[RayWhisperer]

Yeah, I'm still sticking with fungia sp. Great pic, btw.

Thanks! Will be interested to see if I can keep it growing. Think I will cut that branch off the zoa branch so it can get better light.

[RayWhisperer]

That will keep producing fungia. So, cut it far enough back, as I dont know how "deep in" something like that goes.

I am going to take that whole branch off, just so I can turn it right side up. Hoping I can grow it out! Researching them now, as I have never had one. Thanks for the help!
