Looks like an unhappy Toadstool that is not opening up. But that is common in that coral at times to shed it's skin and close up for a period of time.

Then it can be a cup coral. Bill that's what I thought but polyps are to big. And I didn't think it was a cup coral at 1st because on the footing. Or a cool lps. Lindsey you have a colony pic. Maybe we can id this guy for you.

I have Tubinaria and it does not look anything like that, It has lots of polyps and a thin growth pattern. I think that is wrong but do not have a clue as ti it's ID
