I found this little guy about 2 months ago, withering away on the bottom of a piece of live rock I bought. Its skeletal structure was firmly attached to LR, so it was a hitch hiker.

It and LPS, and has a small mouth located in the center of its polyp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it purple centered with green polyps? Kinda looks like a manjo to me, if so its a pest and needs to be removed.

    It has a skeleton. I dont believe it is a mojano. The mouth has a light orange border/rim.

    possibly a withering away duncan? I would put it in an area of higher light and less flow and see how it expands. Then post more pictures.

    Nice find it will get larger if especially if fed often. Mine has grown from smaller than a dime to the size of a quarter.
