Looking for an ID please

Hello,

I'm trying to ID this new mystery tenant in my 20 gallon reef. He just sort of appeared growing on the underside of a small rock with 2 kenya trees. It is about 1/4 inch long and can retract its tentacles. It has not moved since I found it, but I can't confirm that it can't move, lol. Someone in my local forum suggested dendronepthia, which is why I'm posting here. I read it was a non-photo coral. However this coral is supposed to be extremely difficult, so that leads me to believe it is not. Can someone confirm yay or nay? Thanks!

It is a chili coral (Nephthyigorgia sp but Don may say otherwise )and it is pretty easy on the Azoox coral side of the spectrum as long as you feed it Polyps are large enogh to feed cyclop-eeze.

Awesome, thanks. I think I agree!!! I fed it some BBS tonight, but it wasn't cooperating and didn't have it's polyps out. So I'll try again tomorrow On the upside, my black sun coral reacted nicely to the BBS tonight, lol.

Thanks again!
