Hello, I got this for free at a recent frag swap and forgot to ask for its name.
Can anyone help me ID it? The first picture is in windex mode (no filters) and the next ones are with an orange filter.
Thanks for the help!

I think @Cell is right with the Psammocora. I checked out a video from Tidal Gardens and I noticed the tentacles had a different color on their tips. I didn't think mine were like that until I went to check with the phone at 5x zoom.
The tips are so small that I can't see them with a naked eye.
What makes you say they are unhappy? How would a happy psammocora look like?
If it looks unhappy, I think it might be due to low light. At this moment I'm keeping it towards the bottom of a 20gal frag/quarantine tank and I just learned from the Tidal Gardens video that they like medium-high light.
I could move it up and try to gauge the reaction. What should I look for in terms of a reaction?
Thanks!

Should look almost fuzzy. Smooth from far away.
