Could someone name this LPS Coral

Hello everyone. I've a question we just got a nice coral in our store. And am hoping someone may be able to identify it.

That's a short tentacle plate coral to me, side view pictures may help. They like to be kept on the floor of the aquarium. Low to moderate light.

Here's one that looks similar to yours

It does look a lot like that. Very cool. What's been throwing us off though is its growing off a half inch stem.

Take a picture of a side view plate corals don't get stems

Here's the best side views I could get.

Maybe it's a not open Balanophyllia coral I still think it's a plate coral though

Sure, I’ll name it Fred.

Hello Fred the coral.

Late reply but plate corals contain a small carbonate stew. You will often see it produce babies from there

I would guess plate coral too. Can you maybe touch it to make it retract so the skeleton in viewable?
