I just recently pick up a new coral to add to the tank. The guy at the store told me it’s a goniopora but it looks like like a duncan also. Any ideas on which one it is?

it’s like a purple color but at the tips of the tentacles it fades to a yellow. pictures don’t do it justice!
 
thank you all! now that i am looking at more pictures it’s definitely a goni! ‍♀️
 
I picked up a similar looking colony from a local reefer and she told me it was a Duncan colony, but the "cluster" type not the branching. When mine is ticked it looks just like an angry Goni colony, but when it's open the polyps are over 1" long and the same size if not larger than most standard duncan colonies.
 

WHICH TYPE OF REEF CONTENT MOST OFTEN GETS YOU TO PARTICIPATE?
