I got a blueberry gorgonia about a year ago and this guy came on it. It used to be very vibrant but I just moved everything into a bigger tank and everything is pretty stressed. He’s still fat and flown, I’m leaning towards an LPS of some sorts, it feels like it has a skeleton. Any ideas?

Anyway to get the photo under white lights?
 
If it retracts when you squirt water at it and there's a skeleton it's an LPS. It could be a Hidden Cup Coral or any common LPS hitch hiker. If no skeleton than Anemone would be my guess.

I’ve touched it, it for sure has a skeleton
