    Still not certain what this guy is, but for his tiny size, he is an awesome bi-color Coral for sure.

    Look like green button polyps, which are a type of zoanthid.

    The coral is a leptastrea.

    leptastrea are very cool, quick growing corals. I have a couple types and they grow well IMO. Great little surprise!
