Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you can identify this coral? :frusty: I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I want to say it falls under SPS but it's not hard it's mushy. The polyps suck into it when agitated and it's shaped like a test tube. It doesn't have any additional protruding branches and is one piece. It's pinkish purple in color.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! View attachment 22618

Looks like a type of briareum. Maybe it encrusted another coral or gorgonian. That's my guess at least. So, not sps.
