Coral ID please. Sold as "Crystal"

Anybody have an idea of what these are. The owner told me they are called Crystal Coral but that leaves me empty handed with google. It was a 2$ frag sale I had a hard time saying no. I ended up spending 38 dollars ugh lol

Might research Blastomussa merletti

Looks like a galaxea. They are known for having long sweeper tentacles, so keep it a good 4-5 inches away from others.

Def not a galaxea. I have one of those and these are nothing like that.

The blasto however, does look similar. I currently have them glued to the side of some LR. Do you think I should remount them now that I see how they form? On top of some LR instead?

I will say I have seen some retracted/unhappy galaxea that look similar to this. But the other suggestion could be accurate as well

Yunno now I see it. The individual polyps of the galaxea, not the entire head. or is the head called a colony? Ugh.

The individual polyps are called heads; the whole collective is called a colony.
