I flipped a rock that’s been in my tank for a while, I was gonna take it out and put it in a new tank but saw this and want an ID on it first lol. Only coral in tank is a cabbage leather and watermelon bubble tip anemone. It doesn’t look like my cabbage leather, and it’s also not a Xenia because it’s just stationary there. Soooo what is it?

I know you said its not but sure does look like it to me. Have you had xenia in this tank before? Maybe since it was under a rock its not 100%?

Not all Xenia pulses. And like mentioned above, if it’s unhappy it also won’t pulse. Sure looks like Xenia to me, but it could also be a similar coral like anthalia. Won’t be able to tell till it grows a bit.
