At first glance, I wondered about Xenia, but it doesn't have the feathery look to the tentacles...unless it's just too closed up to see.

If it has a stony base, I'd say Alveopora (cousin of Goniopora with 12 tentacles instead of 24)

+1 to possible xenia, but it doesnt look feathery enough. Also looks like a really ticked off flowerpot coral, aka aleveopora.

Actually, the answer is the little one that is open sitting on the left of the frag plug. Its clove polyps.

Yes the little ones on left is small clove polyps,but this one on middle is definitely no xenia.
It's looks to me as aleveopora too.
What I was referring to is that the entire thing is clove polyps. I dont see the stony skeleton of an aleveopora, but it may still be that. My money is on the entire thing is clove polyps.

I'll do more pics when I comeback from work.
