Hi there, I purchased this LPS coral over a year ago as a Scoly but I’ve never seen one like it since and it’s very different with its feeding response compared to my War Paint Scoly (which definitely is a Scoly). Any suggestions welcome!

Appears to be a button scoly but similar to acan enchinata

Thanks for the reply! I don’t think it’s an Acan Echinata as it is developing a second mouth in the center and I believe Acan Echinata develop ‘buds’ on the outside of the polyp. Thanks for the button Scoly suggestion!
