Hi All

I was wondering if anyone could identify this coral?
Long story short, my daughter and i picked this coral up yesterday in the middle of the day while the LFS was very busy, so busy that it was chaos, i missed what type this was and left feeling very stupid and embarrassed. I couldn't go back in and ask what i had just bought.

Also on the way back my daughter dropped the bag in the car and some of the soft tissue has come away from the rock it is on. Will it reattach itself to the rock?

The picture has been taken in the evening light cycle, please tell me if a clearer one is needed.
All in all a bit of a disastrous day. Thanks for any help.

Probably. Xenia is very, very tough.
 
Thanks that's much appreciated. The stems that are still attached to the base seem happy and were feeding earlier, even the one that was hanging loose was feeding, so fingers crossed : )
 
It’s xenia, very tough, does not need much light and flow. Would do well in rich nutrient water.
