Closed up lps coral Id???

[Andreas' Reef]

Hi, I recently bought a mystery pack of beginner corals and one of this has been closed for 4 days because it is getting used to the tank. I understand if it is hard to id this coral because it is closed. But if you have a guess as to what it is that would be great, thanks.

Looks like a trumpet/caulastraea

Toxic green trumpet. It doesn’t look too much different when really open, just bigger and greener.

Thank you so much for you reply. but I saw some small tentacles coming out of it when it was half opened up. Does it have a mouth like that?

Those were probably it’s sweepers.

Agree with others.
One point to remember, those sweepers can be quite long and quite destructive to other corals. Mine have been known to reach a good 4 inches at night. Be sure to give them space...
Oh, and they grow quite well! Enjoy!

Good to know but mines still small it's about 4 inches away from a mushroom coral.
