i would say it looks like a plate coral as well. but if you say there isnt any skull. then i dont know what to think. so from what i understand the whole thing is soft?? no skull? can you get a picture of it when the lights first come on when its in its shrunken stage?
yeah, I'll get some more pics tonight, or tommorrow morning

That thing growing out of your zoas is a hitch hiking cycloceris.

Thank you Kraylen.
and for those that are going ????????
What is the difference between a fungia and cycloseris well here;
"They are both in the Fungiidae family, the differences are only in skeletal formation and corallite/polyp size.
* Cycloserus corallites (where the polyp attaches to the skeleton) are smaller than Fungia.
* Cycloserus septo-costae1 are inconspicuous.
* Cycloserus is solitary and circular like Fungia, but septa (radial wall like divisions of the corallite) have fine saw-like teeth.
* Fungia has

like projections on the underside, whereas Cycloserus is smooth."
