Bought this as a birds nest... can anyone confirm, or give me a more accurate description? The polyps are so fluffed up, I can't see the branches. Under blue light its a deep burgundy/maroon with pink tips.

it looks almost like a poccillopora to me, the branches are so close together, and the polyps are really long. Can you pick it up & swish it around a bit, then take a pic of it retracted?
