Hiding behind a rock for 5 months - ID?

[jjencek]

I was moving some rocks while cleaning my aquarium and this was hiding behind a rock. It was not there when I inserted the rock with a new sps. Maybe a ZENIA? I do have a zenia in the tank, but it is a light beige color not this bluish one. Anybody can help me identify it?

Some type of Clove Coral, be careful to keep them isolated on the rock they are on, they can grow quite rapidly and quickly become a nuisance.

Clavularia spp, I believe.

Edit: sp

Yeah - Started with one now I have about 10. They break off branches and plant themselves wherever. Fairly harmless, but I can see them taking over if not careful.

Pink zenia

It looks kind of like Anthelia IMO.

Thank you for the answers. I don't believe it is a zenia because it is not pulsating.

It sure looks like the Glove Coral, but I still cannot decide if it is Anthelia or Clavularia. I will need to do a little more homework, but it is a great start pointing me the right direction.

Xenia doesn't always pulse IIRC
