Either Halomitra sp. or Lithophyllon sp.  Can you get a shot of the side and how it's attached?

thanks! I think it's definitely the Halomitra sp. looks exactly like this here, but green/teal.

No problem.  One of my favorite corals that doesn't show up too often.  Treat it like your average LPS, love meaty foods and sinking pellets when the feeders are out.  If it's H. clavator, it will stay attached to the rock, any other species of Halomitra, and it will eventually fall onto the sand bed like a plate coral.  If you ever decide to get rid of it, I'd love first shot - I lost a nice one many years ago and haven't found another:

They are just smaller on the one you have. If you look at the picture you posted you can seem them along the outer rim on the bottom on the left.
