Any idea what this coral is?

I was at the Smithsonian National Zoo today where they have a small reef section and saw this thing - wondering what it is?

Overall about 18” across

/somewhat gratifying to also see that even these folks have Aiptasia colonies

It looks like a single flabello-meandroid polyp, which suggests elegance. The polyp is also too large to be a duncan.

Having just googled elegance corals they do have the same udon-noodle like tentacles with luminous dots on the end. This seems to be an enormous one.
