Identify this tricky coral. I don’t think it’s a brain.

My second attempt at identifying this coral. I don’t know what it is. I have 2 brain corals beside it, but this one is different. It doesn’t have the same meaty texture. It doesn’t have a mouth. It doesn’t eat. Doesn’t expand.

I even removed it from the tank to get a complete video of it.

The reason I’m so concerned is because I don’t think it’s happy. I don’t think I’m placing it correct in my sand bed.

It’s the purple coral with spots.
