Forgive the poor quality of these pics but any ID thought for hitchhiker lps?

[steveschuerger]

I’ve had this hitchhiking lps for several months and it’s been slowly growing. It has a noticeable outer stony skeleton and short tendril polyps that are most prominent during heeding time.

ery hard pic as you stated to work with. Can be duncan coral or blastomussa, but a mere guess based on fuzzy images

I believe it's a rose coral.

The bluer pic makes it look like an elegance, but the top looks like a duncan…toss up!

I think in the other thread you mentioned you thought you had a rose coral... Is this the same one?

 

[steveschuerger]

Just took what I hope are better pics . Top down.

Definitely looks like Manicina areolata a type of brain coral.

It's much fleshier than a maze.

Yeah the top one maaaybe be the same just smaller, but this guy I do think is a Rose based on google searching. The top pics of the smaller coral are making me lean towards a type of maze brain based on image search
