Lol Frank is poppin on point today! One of mamas favorite hitchikers that came on gulf rock. I forgot the actual name honestly. Maybe cup or rose coral. I think @Eagle_Steve keeps a bunch of them in his sump and may be able to help with name. It is pretty cool honestly in going to try and frag when I get a cpl more heads to pop up.

What color is the flesh? Not the tents, but the flesh right at the Skelton and where the tents come out.

If pink/pruple - Speckled Cup Coral aka Rhizosmilia maculata

if no real color - Hidden cup coral aka Phyllangia americana

Not an orange cup coral, so no need to list that one.

Based on the tightness of the other skeleton/heads, it looks like a hidden. They group up closer than speckled and are more common in the gulf. Speckled is usually found East Coast/Bahamas and the south side of the Keys.

Whatever one they are, lower to no light, decent flow and regular feedings of small bits of mysis or other meaty food and they will grow well. If tents are out and long, they are hungry. Tents usually just barely poke out when healthy and well fed.

Well I got a notification that only one bucket of the three I purchased from Petsmart had shipped last Tuesday, but if you click on the link, the delivery status is currently unavailable. I'll wait it out and hopefully have them honor the sale when they restock.

They should! They’re pretty good about that.. I get multiple buckets each order and they always come separate tracking numbers and delivery days.
