Coral ID?

Sooooo.....I'm not entirely sure what I have. Initially, I thought it was ricordea, but it's not acting like ricordea. It's not quite like a yuma either. Could it be a mini carpet anemone? I don't think it's a shroom.

Looks like a Yuma to me

True classification is RICORDIA YUMA. Ricordia florida is the other one. Yumas are from the Indo pacific and florida are found in the Caribbean.
Yumas have a thicker polyp structure and have a hearty "foot". Floridas have thinner flesh with a thin, translucent base structure. Yumas also have smaller diameter "bumps" (pseudotentacles ) on the polyp (but more populous) and often grow right up to the mouth. The Florida polyps have thicker clusters of said pseudotentacles but often the mouth is exposed and there are fewer on the oral cone(s) area if any at all. Yuma get larger in size and tend to take more to spot/supplemental feeding though they do require decent lighting. Florida Rics split after getting somewhat large (after developing multiple oral cone areas). Yuma tend to keep a round shape while Florida's get round, oval, whatever they feel like as they stretch and split.
