^ agree. cool hitchhiker. make sure to feed it. spray food at it daily at the same time and eventually bright yellow tentacles will come out regularly.

It looks like a sun coral. Sun corals are not photosynthetic and require daily feeding.

Been spot feeding it for two days and it is already starting to slightly stick out its tenticles, just a cool bonus to the plant I bought that it happened to share the rock with.
