LPS ID

Hi can I get an ID on this guy?

Growing like crazy and eats so strangely, wraps up its body almost turning inside out to engulf food, it’s so cool!

Euphyllia coral. Frogspawn?

Ya looks Euphyllia to me as well, not a frogspawn I don’t think. It’s growing like a Mat.

What does the base look like? could be a plate?

Are you sure it's not a hairy mushroom? Here is mine it does the same thing when it eats

I am now not sure! That is definitely the same thing, thanks! I was told it was from Euphyllia, but when searching the genus I couldnt find anything.

I cant believe how similar they look haha, thanks again!

I don't believe this is in the Genus Euphyllia or Fimbriaphyllia (the Genus many former Euphylliids have been placed in). look up Rhodactis indosinensis, I believe you have a kind of hairy mushroom, unless that coral has a skeleton.

is it soft or does it have a skeleton

Well if it is they are really cool. I love mine, and watching them eat is the best part, especially when they get bigger
