Probably not lps, but - ID anyway!

Trying to figure out what this sucker is.



Thinking frogspawn. Not a ricordea.

Appreciate it.

This is an LPS often called Galaxy coral which is Galaxea spp.

Potent sting too lots of room from other corals they can have some killer sweepers

I know of the galaxea, I have a galaxea fascicularis.

Interesting. Thanks.

That is likely a good guess for the species of the one you posted, although a much more detailed photo with the polyps withdrawn would be needed for a species ID. Hairy Mushrooms can look very similar, but your pic does appear to be Galaxea spp.

I was leaning more towards the hairy shroom. Does it have a hard bottom that the tenticals retract into or does it just kinda shrivel up a bit at night.

shrivles up at night to the size of a loonie.
