No but if it opens again I'll post, it looks like a spa brown/purple one but I'm a noob so I'll leave it for y'all to determine what it is

Closes when I touch it

Looks like a zoa or paly

Yeah I'm leaning towards protopalythoa. Sometimes known as button polyps or brown paly's. Still a little hard to tell but they tend to grow as individual polyps vs mats.

They are easy to care for too?

They are soft corals so as far as corals go they are easy to care for

Just leave it be and see how it goes.
