Hi, I got this coral as a random leather with no name. I think it might be a nepthea of some sort. I’m not totally sure though.
The thing under it is a zoa (I think) that was growing on the same rock as the frag.
It’s a pinkish to purpleish in person.
I have a few pictures with blue, white, and blue with a filter (lighting).

Any guesses, Thanks in advance.

Sorry the pictures aren’t too good lighting makes it hard for blues.

Based on it's shape, my guess is that it's a Devil’s Hand Leather Coral (Lobophytum)
 
I believe it's a type of finger leather sinularia

I don't see the lobes but it's hard to tell.
 
I also have a Kenya tree (green) it looks a bit different than the coral I’m trying to ID.
I will update when it grows and I can better see if it drops any stems.
It might be a finger leather.
Thanks everyone for the input
