Looks like acanthophyllia to me. Keep us posted as it grows.

Will do mate, they in a bad shape at the moment, one looks like a Siamese to, but in very bad condition as the skeleton is showing in parts.

Evening mate, just wondering if it could be something different, just got a pic of the Siamese, or two heads of something.

She recovered a bit so was able to get a pic, plus the first one shared

I'm sticking with acanthophyllia for now. It just looks off to me to be a homophyllia. While a solitary coral I'm sure it's possible for them to grow another mouth or split. I've never seen that in person though. As it grows I'm sure it will develop distinguishing characteristics.

I know it’s possible to grow 2 mouths as my other one has that

But this baby has 2 separate sets of tentacles with they’re own mouths. My get lucky and it’s actually a acanthophyllia. Probably better see how it develops.
