Some type of favia? What does it look like when it isn't hungry?

maybe even an acan echinata that hasn't developed any color yet....

It look smooth, shiny and fleshy - like a blasto. I was thinking echinata as a possibility but its more meaty. With favia you typically see some ridge and a "slope" towards the center; I don't see that on this one.

Use a turkey baster so you can make it retract a bit.
