Hello, this mystery booger was included in my bag for free when I was picking out a few empty hermit crab shells. I asked the associate what it was he said he didn't know but tossed it in the bag. There was a type of soft coral in the same tank, so I thought I'd start here in this section for ID.

At the store, it was totally smooth. Just a little booger stuck to a rock about an inch or so big. The coral is about the size of a pea. After about 2 hours in my tank, this little dude starts opening up. So excited. Any idea what it is so I can give it proper care?

First pictures are in full whites for clarity, last pic in blues. In full blue it appears to have green/yellow colors on the tips.
