Hello everyone. Today, a I received an online order in the mail. One of the items, which was labeled "purple sea whip", looks nothing like any purple sea whip I have seen. It has good polyp extension and is in high flow and mod. Lighting. It also ate when I tried spot feeding it. Any ideas what it is?

Hard to tell from the picture, but if the polyps are white, it's non-photosynthetic and light doesn't matter. It will be extremely hard to keep alive without nearly spoiling your water trying to feed it. Can you take a close picture of the polyps?
