What is this coral??

I received this price from a friend in the hobby. He did not know what it was called either. I have had it in my tank for about 6 months now, and it is growing but slowly. Since I do not know what it is, it makes it difficult to know whether or not I have it placed correctly.

Help me ID this coral, and feel free to give me any tips. Thank you in advance.

PS. It is closed up now, but typically has a lot of little polyps exdening that kinda look like Xenia polyps but purple.

Clove polyp?

Without a picture of the polyps, were all just guessing here.
