Coral identification and looks unhappy/unhealthy

[Reeflifeflorida]

Hello everyone I recently bought a coral and it was not labeled and not quite sure what it is can anyone assist. I dipped the coral In peroxide before placing into my tank because I saw a small amount of algae on the disk, and now it seems the coral has small white strands extending off the disk. Any ideas?

It's an LPS but I'm struggling to place it this morning. Did it look like this when you first got it?

Looks like a scoly or similar meat coral
Moderate light and water flow. Iodine dip it and elevate off sand a little

Looks like a mushroom

Looks like a mushroom or maxi mini carpet anemone but I don’t see a mouth in the centre of the disk .
Are you able to get a picture of the base ?

I’m torn between a mushroom or some type of lps. Does it retract back like a open brain coral? A picture of the base would help. Is that spongebob in the background lol?

Has a skeleton so not a shroom or nem. Looks like a scoly in poor shape. Give it lower light/flow and good water quality to see if you can bring it back.

Most if not all lps should have some sort of mouth ?

IMO It looks like its on its way out. Peroxide was probably not a good call, did you dip the whole coral in pure Peroxide? The white spikes look to be the skeleton coming through the flesh.

Agree. Think I see remnants of one in the middle. But it's in such bad shape it looks disintegrated and hard to recognize.

It's a Lobophyllia vitiensis (formerly Parascolymia), and it looks like it's on the way out sadly. The peroxide was probably too hard on the flesh of the coral. Get it off the sand and somewhere dark, as in the weakened state it won't be able to bet excess sandoff of its body, which will drill through even deeper. There's really not much more that you can do, sadly. Don't feed it, it'll just rot.

I vote a Scolymia Vitiensis. It doesn’t look happy but doesn’t look too far off from a happy version of that coral either. I don’t think it’s that far gone.

Don't ever peroxide dip a coral unless if you know what it is. Most corals will die if dipped in peroxide.
