It’s attached to a rock via a plug when I purchased the rock and was wondering what it is and if it still might be alive

looks like a partially bleached or just pink hammer coral.

That is 100% not a zoanthid

I agree, looks like zoas that are closed. Can you post more pictures

100% agree that is appears to be closed up Zoas.

Now at a closer look and further research it is more than likely spas. Sorry for the inaccurate response.

+3 on closed up zoa. Light is very bright for them and in general

Thanks for all the reply’s!!! I think that this pic is clearer. is it still alive and if so do these require low light?

yes looks alive and well. in a couple of weeks it should be completely opened. zoas like a wide range of light depending on the type. but low to medium light should be fine.
