Default Help me identify this coral.
Anyone know what this is? It came in on a rock. Seems to burrow into the rock itself.

Looks like a type of Discosoma sanctithomae (warty mushroom), a cousin to the ricordea.

I don't think it's a mushroom. The largest is about the size of...... a US 10 cent. when you touch them they retract into the hole that they live in/burrowed. The holes are pretty deep I think.

Majano / rock anemone of some type Nothing you would want in your tank unless you keep a racoon butterfly in there also.
