The first one withe filter the second one without.

I got this frag of LPS coral at my local fish store for 40 euros and they sold it as a Lobophylia but the polyp us only 2 cm long and it might be a blastamoussa

Please help me identifying it 🙏

Thanks a lot
 
It kind of looks like a button scoly. How is the skeleton look? Like it’s been cut or all on it own
 
Thank you but the mouth of my Coral is kinda like a black hole, is that the same on scolys?

Actually they are called button scoly but they aren’t true Scolys. Like the others I’m torn between a single head acan and a bottom scoly or possibly a blasto. That picture is to blue to help much sorry.
 
Acan Bowerbanki maybe?

Tomorrow I will do it withe filter 👍
 
I'd let it grow out a bit, a single polyp is going to be hard to identify. It could be anything from bowerbanki to scold. I'd wait to see if other heads start going or develops a different skeletal shape.
