I can't tell what this little fellow is. It was a freebie that had fallen to the bottom of the LFS frag tank.
It appears to be a bud off of a larger colony, not a healed-over chunk of a larger animal.
It has a hard calcium skeleton that looks like an inverted fungia skeleton--- concave/bowl shape rather than convex.
However, when the polyp has inflated, it does not look concave.
The last two pics are of it feeding on a scrap of shrimp.
Here's a few lousy pics, this is a difficult coral to photo.
