Can you help me identify this coral?

[Baby Reefer]

I have this coral in my tank and I have no idea what it is. Someone told me they thought it might be a brain coral, but they weren't sure. Can anyone help me identify this beauty?

Thanks in advance.

Should be a hydnophora coral. Search this name on google and you will see a lot of images just like it. Leave a good amount of space around it, they are aggressive stingers. Have a good day!

It doesn't have flower like tentacles though, they are straight up and in a line.

Then it would be as coral.com stated- hydnophora

Would agree, looks like a hydnophora. They can be aggressive, so be mindful of anything in close proximity

It's definitely a Hydnophora. I found the same one in a time laps video eating another coral. :eek: He's very happy where he is so I will definitely have to evaluate the tank and see what I can do to keep that from happening.

Thank you everyone for helping me.
