I hope my photos are of some help. I mainly need to know where to put this. It ended up in a bad spot with no light and attached to a piece of macro algae. What type of coral is it and is it worth saving. I have none of such coral in my tank (mainly a macro algae tank) It is a little larger than a dime.
thanks!!

It looks like a mushroom coral. Whether or not its worth saving is up to you. They are some of the easiest corals to keep. Personally, I would keep it. Low light and low flow.
