Looks like blue cespitularia.
It does look quite like it, just that it's all closed up. Any other ideas?

It could be xenia, whether it is pulsing or not we can't no if it's closed up. It does not look a lot like xenia right now, but in a day or two you'll no. possibly cespitularia, too.

Pulsing xenia doesnt always pulse in the aquarium but sometimes after a month or two in the tank it might start to pulse. Rather weird coral!

it's xenia whether or not it's pulsing. if it pulses then it is pulsing xenia.

It looks like blue xenia that I used to have. Give it a couple days to acclimate.
