    So re aquascaped this today, and this coral fell out of a rock i have never seen it in my tank before. Have not added anything new in a while. No idea what it is, has a skeleton like a hammer coral almost. But there is a cluster of about 8 of these. I put it in a high light spot and it is starting to open up.

    Any clue?

    its hard to tell, but is the center a green color? It almost looks like a blastomossa I have, green center with brown ring on the outside? It is a lps and probably doesn't like intense light, although your version of "high light" may be different from mine. I know mine doesn't like to be to close to my metal halide.

    if it has been in a low light area such as under or in your rocks I would place it at the bottom and slowly over days/weeks move it to the spot you like.

    my buddy said he gave it to me like 6 months ago with a piece of live rock, and that it is a micromussa.
