Soft coral ID help

[AlexOc]

Hi, 

 

Can i please get some help ID'ing this soft coral? 

 

During transit it seems to have detached itself from its rock. Ive gently placed it in its current position but im not sure on how to reattach it. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

It looks similar to pulsing Xenia. Not sure though.

Can you get a better pic of the coral from the top down?  It reminds me of a hairy mushroom coral that’s lifted itself up in the air. 
 

Its definitely not a pulsing Xenia.

Yes from the top will help...polyps dont look right I almost wana say this is a realy unhealthy/ unhappy anemone? Realy need a top pic...has it got a mouth in the middle?

I could'nt get a decent photo from above as there isn't much to see but this is one from a better angle. Id say unhealthy/ unhappy anemone is probably it. It does have a mouth, maybe two.

 

After a bit reading it could be stressed and unsatisfied with the spot 'I' chose for it. Flow is pretty low but enough for it to flap around so ill let it do its thing and see what happens.

Looks like a tiny elegance coral. LPS

I think you might be spot on there. 

 

Found this pic. Pretty close.

I have seen very small pieces of elegance imported lately. Cool coral, it is very hardy. Just be aware that they will sting their neighbours.

Yes I agree looks like an elegance. Very cool unique coral

Shame it has detached. Reading would suggest its a common issue with Elegance Corals. See what happens i guess.
