What coral is this?

[TaraT]

Does anyone know what coral or anemone this is? The man at my LPS said it was a Blake coral but I can’t find anything about that. I probably misheard him. I’m obviously new. It was about 1-2 inches across with short green tentacles and a bluish/purple body. There was a visible mouth at the center Thanks in advance!

Probably misheard him say "plate coral"

Haha! Ok that makes more sense. There was a TV playing pretty loudly in there.

I agree.....fungia plate coral. They are a great choice. I hope you are safe down in the Houston area. I have several coworkers that live in the area.

Technically Cycloseris tenuis, but commonly gets the "fungia" genus slapped on it mistakenly.
