I got this coral from petsmart (sorry not my local) and off course they don't know anything. What is it?

They are Button polyps or zooanthids. Very pretty!!! They are a soft coral that require medium to strong lighting and low to medium flow. Usually as long as you have enough lighting they are fairly easy to keep and don't require any special feeding. Some polyp/zooanthid species carry paleo toxin (sp?) which is extremely toxic and can be deadly! It is a good idea to use gloves when handling and always wash your hands with soap when done!. Do not let your pets drink any of your tank water as it can be fatal! Most zoos don't cary this toxin but it is always good to be cautious!
