Tough I was buying a dead favia but on a closer inspection it seems another baby coral growing on a favia skeleton, it does have some crazy colours but I can’t recognise what could it be. Do trachys come with speckles?

First pic is the coral puffed
Second pic is closed.

I agree. It looks like its been trough a war but is still holding on.

I thinks it's a favia trying to come back.

That’s what I tough at first to mate, all the buttons on this garden came in favia skeletons, this one looks very similar to the button circled in red in the pic. Also some close up from the same coral wend I first got it, it’s to far back now to be able to get a decent pic.
