Coral ID wanted.

I found this coral facing towards the back of my tank. Anyone have any idea what it is? Sorry for the bad pics.

Sorry but from those pictures it would be almost impossible to narrow it down to even Order or Family. We need much closer and clearer pictures.

My guess is some sort of mushroom coral, viewed side on, though as David said, to say with any degree of certainty, we'd need a better pic. Can you fish out the bit of rock it's on?

I tried, but when I do it retracts and is no longer visible. As you can see, it is growing on some sort of calcium structure. This is why I came to the conclusion that it was either an SPS or LPS coral. I may be wrong though.

Also, when I try to zoom in, the image becomes very blurry.

Try fishing out the bit of rock it's on and putting it somewhere in the tank where it's easier to take a picture. It'll extend a while after you put it there and you should be able to get a better photo.

Do you have a macro function on your camera? That'll enable you to get a closer shot. Check your instructions to see whether you do.
