Soft coral ID - is it a clove polyp?

It's pretty large, when fully out it has massive crown of feathery polyps. I bought it because - soft... fluffy pretty and a nice texture.

 

But what is it? Sort of looks like Xenia but I am fairly sure it isn't I am hazarding a guess its a clove - but a very very large one.

 

I attempted co lour correction. If this is too flumpy to ID, give me a bit to get a better shot.

Looks like a much more common Anthelia coral. They grow super fast; almost at an invasive speed. Try to isolate it to one rock or the sandbed if at all possible otherwise they can get out of control.

Yeah you're right, after a google search it does look more like an anthelia. Cloves appear to have a bit more color to them.
