What is this imposter in my Zoas?

[J&E]

There’s this Zoa looking thing in my zoa colony, it’s been there since we got it.
It doesn’t actually close or react like a coral, it doesn’t close to light or touch etc.

Anyone know what it is??

My guess is a zoanthid eating nudibranch. I literally just watched a Tidal Gardens episode on youtube about this.

I would've guessed just some random palythoa polyp but surprised it doesn't react ... so no idea.
If it is "something else", that's awesome camouflage it's got going on.

Looks like a paly of some kind.

Maybe a pest paly?

Could be a majano anemone if its not a paly.
