Coral ID

So found this guy on some rubble that had a mushroom on it. Can’t figure out what it is. Looks like some type of clove, but they are coming from a single base, so not really sure. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Might be a ragged xenia?

Some kind of leather coral

Looks like you have clove polyps close by, might be an off shoot?

It’s not xenia or any type of cloves that I can find... my initial thought was Goni or avilopora because of the rounded base that all of the polyps were coming from. But the fronds or tentacles of the polyps are frilled and not rounded/smooth.

Some kind of leather coral

leather seems possible.

Thanks! Just with my iPhone. Since setting up the reef I’ve seriously regretted selling my macro lens for my dslr
