Soft Coral ID please. . . Mushroom? Ricordea?

Hey gang, I’ve been trying to ID this coral, but can’t find anything close to it. Mushroom looking but had more tentacles like things. Brown in color.

Thank you all!

Doesn't look like a ricordea to me (yuma or florida). Looks kinda Rhodactis-like to me.

If they get up to 4" they may seize and suffocate perching fish like mandys, blennies, gobies...they can act like an anemone.
