My friends tank cracked and he gave me his frags, however, I have no clue what this one is. Any help?

Looks like a favia of some sort to me? It's some some of "brain/maze" coral

Possibly a small acan echinate frag, does it get a little puffy and feed in the center mouth at night? If it is they can be very aggressive but come in some sweet colors

Actually I’m new to the hobby so I don’t know what to feed it. All I have is mysis right now.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYou don't need to feed it, but it will help make it grow a bit faster if all your parameters are good. Also you can feed it mysis shrimp but make sure you turn off your flow so they can eat it without the food getting blown away

It doesn’t seem to open or change at all. Should I see anything?

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI believe they have feeding tentacles too that will grab onto the food. But they take a while to come out, in my experience.

So I spot fed it mysis and it puffed up big but no feelers.

I’m thinking it may be a Favia. Does that sound about right?
