Ive had this growing for about 4 months now.
Its about 2 inches across.
Any ideas?

Hmmm it almost looks like a plate coral. I have no idea.

Try a google image search under diaseris. Maybe a baby fragilis?

 

[CSJIII]

its semi hard to get a great picture since I have a bow front tank and whatever it is is facing forward on the rock.
It has long tentacles that come off of it at night.
Here is a picture from when it was less than an inch....

maybe leptoseris,or lithophyllon.

looks like a plate coral to me.

Lepthastrea, Merulina, or Psammacora

 

[CSJIII]

WOW!
So much out there to narrow it down to.

It looks most like a Merulina.

A lepthastrea has invididual eyes every cm or so. Psammacora doesn't really have feeders like that.
Not a plate or fragilis for sure.
A litho has ridges, then feeders.

When looking at the pictures on google, I would agree that it looks most like a Merulina.

 

[reefcrazydude]

is that thing good or bad ?

 

[AlexStinson]

It's a coral... if you want it its good if you don't then I guess it's not...

 

[CSJIII]
