LFS didn't know what this was

I stopped in yesterday on buy one get one fee day. I picked out a nice little blasto and this guy. They had no idea what it is and I'm not sure (which is why I picked it as my freebie). Any ideas? I apologize if this isn't considered a sps.

Chalice corals normally have eyes so imo isn’t a chalice either. Merulina maybe

If it helps, one of the employees said it produces long sweeper tentacles occasionally as well.
