    It is mounted to a plug I really have no idea what it is. It is flat much like star polyps grow the flesh is brown and it has tiny green polyps i'm assuming it is a SPS of sorts but no sure what it is just too tiny to tell.

    Picture will help us a lot. Might be a Montipora or an Acropora.

    It is encrusting and digis are branching.

    I'll try for a better picture it is encrusting there are no branches. I know it has to be some sort of coral but maybe it is too small to identify. Let me take another pic and see if it looks better.
