Nov 7, 2010 #3 cageburn Reef enthusiast Ya Id either say a plate coral or maybe a st.thomas mushroom? either way nice piece!
Nov 7, 2010 #4 Bifferwine I am a girl How big is it? A plate coral wouldn't be able to hold on to a rock.
Nov 7, 2010 #5 C crazymman Reefing newb It's about 4 and a half inches across fully extended. I was told it was short tentacle plate. Just wanted to confirm with y'all.

Nov 7, 2010 #6 Bifferwine I am a girl Doesn't look like any short tentacle plate coral I've ever seen. And plate corals will always stay the same size around -- they don't contract or expand. Plate corals also can't hold on to rocks. It looks like some sort of mushroom to me.

Nov 7, 2010 #11 C crazymman Reefing newb I think that st Thomas might be it. I wonder if it's a specific type? I'm trying to put a value on it.
