    Awesome score if it's a nice coral. At first I thought it was a baby bubble tip anemone, but the center does look like it has skeletal structure. Please when it grows put a picture to see what it turns into.

    I would watch out for the Chemical warfare when it starts to get big(or bigger) haha, but there might be problems it being that small and being right next to that other coral.
