HI there! I have no clue what this actually is. I thought it was a lepto, but I have my doubts. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

This is it when I first got it. This was 6 months ago- ish.

Looks like a Lithophyllon to me by the way it is encrusting.

What throws me off is that it doesn't have any mouths. Just tentacles that I can see. And it's solid orange
 
Yep, it's a Lithophyllon, you can see multiple mouths in the first picture.

Ha! That made me look again real close. There ARE mouths!!! WOW I feel silly now for never noticing them. :confused: Thanks for the ID :D
 
Prices are truly a regional thing. Most lfs here can not get rid a tongue corals. Even if they sell them in the bargain frag bins.

Tongue corals run about 40-50 at my LFS for a 6inch+ piece. They sell ok, but mostly to people that think they are weird and interesting.
