Hey everyone, I'm not 100% sure what type of coral this is. Can anyone help? I'll get a better picture tonight but this is from last night. I know it's an LPS, but trying to get more specific and I can't quite find exactly what it is.

Blastomussa welsi. Low light and flow, they do like to eat so you can put powered food or mysis on them maybe once a week to help them grow more heads faster.
 
Thank you both! I kind of that it looked one but wasn't to sure. I'll make sure to feed the little guy tonight!
 
Looks big for a blasto... could it be a scoly? (Just guessing here...)
If you are thinking a button scoly, then no, but a good guess. The little spikes are what gives it away. Blastos have soft tentacles that look like spikes. I’m guessing that despite being blue lighting that the blasto is a bright light blue center with either a red or purple skirt.
