So I found this yesterday, unfortunately due to its position I can not get a good photo of it, even from above I can not get a clear picture and I know how frustrating this is when asking for help in identifying.

first I checked on aiptasia (last mushroom I received had a little aiptasia guy hiding on it)
Only other thing that resembles this in my aquriam is firework clove polyps,

This seems to have no flowery/feather like fingers and appears rigid in shape, however it is showing same fluorescent colours under blues

Sorry about picture quality

It does resemble a clove..
Yes I thought that to but it's more rigid in shape, and it closed up briefly when my fish swam past then it opened again very quickly, my clove polyps are also on an island never been on my rocks

I thought clove right away too before even reading the whole post and that you already have some in your tank. I have had xenia before that I kept isolated and it somehow made its way onto my main rocks. Possibly the same thing happened. I have never had clove polyps because I know how fast they can spread, but have heard of this happening before.
