It looks more like a palythoa rather than a zoanthid, as to which "type" I don't think you're going to get an answer other than just generic palythoa. Maybe after it puts on a little more color that will change.

I bought a rock covered in brown palythoas when I started reefing, once I put them under stronger lights they turned a beautiful light blue color.

It definitely eats like a play but other than that it acts like a zoanthid

It almost does look like a button polyp. The problem with identifying zoa`s is that there is several names for each different variation of them. I call the different names marketing schemes. LOL. They used to have a site called zoaid.com that would ID them.
