Do you know where you got it? Or what it looks like expanded?

Almost looks like star coral

Montastraea cavernosa

Could you get a better photo? Does it have a skeleton? My guess is some sort of Zoantharian

unlikely, as those are illegal to collect

I know some people got them from live rock which was why it was on the back of my mind.

Do you know what it could be? The shape is so interesting

It usually wouldn't be on a frag if it came from LR (they're illegal to sell; the LR thing is like a loophole or something). I would need a better photo to tell honestly.

Any way to get a clearer photo and embed it into a post here vs using a link?

I unfortunately don’t, I received it essentially as a gift. Nor do I know what it looks like completely expanded. It partially expands. It does have a skeleton.
