Why don't you piss it off and see what happens when it retracts. That will tell a lot.

I think it's an LPS as well

It doesn't retract per say. It might get a little smaller but not much.

Matt, what do you mean hard skeleton? Like underneath it. The edges flop around a tiny bit if I swish water over it.

Well it's probably really hard to tell since it's so tiny, and I don't suggest actually prodding it. You've seen what a closed up mushroom/zoanthid looks like right? When you piss it off, does it do that, or do the margins simply shrink in a bit?

I've pulled it out of the water and it doesn't shrink like a mushroom, definately nothing like a zoa. It's little 1/8" sweepers retract but that's it.

I'll just wait while it grows more and we can get more of a definitive identification.

Thanks for all your responses.

Its a LPS, but any better then that you'll have to let it grow out a bit.

I think this is it. I've searched for pics on all your thoughts and this is the closest that I found.
