You most likely saw a Chilli Coral or something along those lines which is non-photosynthetic and nearly impossible to keep alive in aquariums.
To answer your question though I have white pom-pom xenia.

Because you most likely saw a "red spider sponge" which is NPS so it doesnt matter what light setup you have because it doesnt use light to eat but rather it needs you to feed it HEAVILY multiple times per day

I have a yellow gorgonian that has white polyps. It does have specific needs and is not a beginner coral.
They just need to be fed a variety of foods because they are nps. I wouldn't say they are really hard but just need to be fed at least twice a day.
Typically, white is a color we avoid in the reef hobby. But it's a specific white. Avoid translucent white or the skeleton because it's a sign of stress in the coral. With the spider sponge you can see that the white isn't translucent, it's a solid color.

I hope not. You just mentioned that you are keeping SPS. SPS and NPS are not typically going to survive in the same closed system.

That may have come off as harsh - I just meant that you need to do some more research and consider the fact that NPS rarely survives long term in any tank that is not directly setup for it. If you want to go NPS, that is great. But please only attempt this coral if you are going to do so wholeheartedly.
