Can anyone tell me what type of coral or what this is?

Hi

I've had this little clear/pink coral I guess? that came attached to my LR a year ago when I started my first nano reef tank. It seemed to be dormant up until recently. It's very, very hardy. I've noticed it getting bigger and like the little tips are reaching out for food so I've started to feed it in which it responds to very well by closing up into a ball until its done then goes back to normal. It's currently in a temporary tank and I'd like to put it in my main one but first would love to know what it is!

Thank you

P.s sorry about the poor pic quality best

Looks like a light starved mushroom.

When I got this piece of LR with this little creature on it I had never owned a coral before. Now I know what it is and that it's starving (feel pretty bad about this) I'll be doing everything I can to have this hardy little guy happy and healthy so he may thrive!

Thank you for help and input

Any idea what type of coral this is? My best guess is a clove polyp but what spicifically...
