Could go either way but looks to me to be what's called a red and green favia, christmas brain, christmas moonstone, red and green moonstone. Google image those.

No,not that.
I've kept that in every tank except this one so I know he Favia well.
The colours you see in my picture are correct and different to the Favia as are the polyps.
:idea:

Then it's an acan. Don't see much else it can be.

Possibly micromussa. What's the average diameter of the polyps?

 

[nice1bruva]

Not sure if this helps much?

I thought it was micromussa tbh?

For more scale its in my 15ltr pico

Smaller than 1 cm means it's most likely micromussa. But I'm not certain.

Best way to get an ID is by comparing exposed skeleton.
