I think it is a torch. It was about the size of a dime when I got that rock.

look to the left of the xenia the green w/green tips.

Does it have a skeleton? If not, looks like a Mejano Anem then.

When I first got it, I couldn't tell what it was. It looked like a Mejano Anemone. I've left it alone for the past 6-7 months. Now it has a skeleton base that is attached to the rock.

if it's been there 6-7 months and hasn't spread, it probably isn't the anemone. still, kinda off from most torches i've seen. don't know why, but it looks a tad funny.

could be euphyllia glabrescens or heliofungia actinoformis.touch it and see if it has a skeleton with deep septa or shallow.if it feels deep then it is euphyllia and if the skeleton feels flat and even with just ridges then it is heliofungia that has not become freeliving.

the skeleton is deep so I gather you're saying it's a euphyllia?

That's exactly what I was going to say, but I just didn't have time to do all that typing..... :wink:
