    Sorry, Jesmon. It appears to only be the dead coral skeleton. It was a favia of some sort while it was living. Hard to tell beyond that...

    yep thats what i was guessing, a type of favia, they call it a "maze coral" i think, leptoria i think it was, it looks like all skeleton to me too =/ it was free so not a big deal but ill see under the lights in the morning if can find any tissue left that may salvage..if not, away it goes i guess =/
