Can someone ID this for me and give me tips on how and on what to attach. A mushroom was holdong this and a small rock togther that I bought the other day, kind of a two-fer.
 
I figure I'll try to attach it to a rock, but don't have much experiance. Will it attach itself if given time?
Thanks!!

I agree, it appears to be a favia. I would putty it to a rock. Try to make a smooth area of putt around it transitioning from the top edge of the coral to the rock all the way around it. This coral will encrust, and then build a stony base underneath, but if you do the putty it will be more attractive and encrust faster than if it has to grow over the sides before encrusting the rock.
Make sure you post your best pictures every month in our POTM forum.
