Either a head of micromussa lordhowensis or homophyllia australis. Can you take a few more pics.

Looks like an acan from that view. But probably could use better pictures.

 

[DF4_Ace]

I got ya. In person the rim looks rainbow

That's has a scoly look to it (homophyllia) never seen one glued to a plug though, interesting. The structure just looks different than a micromussa to me.
#reefsquad any ideas?

 

[dbjonesjr]

Yup what above said. First pic wasn’t sure but clearly doesn’t have the base I’d expect.

It's crazy, I've never seen one that small.

I would say Micro lord. I think a picture without feeders will determine it though. That way we can see the actual structure of it.

Very small scolys have been selling like crazy recently, through Aqua SD who calls them Button Scolys, and other places as well. I've seen the species described as Micromussa pacificus but have not researched that further at all. They're all about the size of a standard frag plug or smaller. I have a number of them but I don't go for the crazy expensive ones. From the shape that may be what this is. Red ones are pricey.

Maybe but it doesn’t really look like them

I'd say let it grow a bit. If it sprouts new heads then micromussa lordhowensis and if not homophyllia

Yeah. I’d say lord still.
