Unknown Coral ID please. What is it! See Pics
Found two of these little hard corals at a LFS and not sure what they are. Sorta look like baby elegance corals with the top structure and a meaty inside with colorful red and green tentrals that come out to feed. The outside is hard sort of cone shaped with a small hole at the bottom tip. They use a "solid tube like foot" from that hole to push/pull like a snail thru the sand to move locations on occation but mainly stay in one spot for long periods of time. When feeding they have brilliant color and extend upward about 1/2". What is it???
The cone is reddish/tan in color. The hole is the same on both so it's not likely from a predator. I placed them high in the tank and they loved the light and extended but would push themselfs off the rocks into other corals or between rocks so I put them back on the sand where I think they are meant to be with that foot thing. What do you think?

Hi L. I don't think their bad, they don't seem to mess with anything just move for light or flow sometimes. Hey can I still p/u some of the home/school made rotofers and phyto sometime?
