    I was leaning towards anthelia myself, mainly because of how spaced out the polyps are and their color. Only time or a super close up macro shot will tell tho, if it is anthelia it should grow very quickly.

    I still thinks it's GSP, look at the white center and purple base.

    Yup, definitely not Anthelia. They are Star Polyps of some sort for sure. The fingers make me think it is not GSP, but they may green up as they grow.
