    I have no idea what this is, it is about 4-5mm across, i found it on a tiny zoa frag. it is a hard plate thing on with tiny tiny tentacles i can barely see. when you touch it, it sucks in the tiny tentacles and is a hard skeleton. Some kind of LPS (or SPS IDK!) The first pic of it shows it on the zoa frag, the second one is after i poked it and its tentacles are retracted.

    It'll probably have to grow out some before it can be positively ID'd.

    But if I was a venture a complete guess, I'd go with a chalice.
