Can you please ID this???

I was moving my live rock around in my tank and I picked up a piece that had this on it. Can someone tell me what this is? It is really hard, kind of looks like a round heat sink or something.

Looks like a dead plate coral skeleton.

Acan skeleton maybe?

Looks like a dead fungia.

[jbaeza83]

should I bother saving it then? or just toss it out?

+1 for the plate coral I have those but haven't lost any. I do notice though when I pick one up to move it I feel a serrated edge.

At the moment it is just a rock. Do with it whatever you like.

yup. coral skeleton. I collect them and let coralline grow on them.

Keep it in your tank. Tiny tissues (if there are any left) may become tiny Fungia on that skeleton.

Ok, thank you everyone.
I removed it from the rock and placed it down by the sand bed.

Scare tactics to keep the other corals in line? :)
