Picture is a bit hard to see for sure, but looks like a red Carnation to me, try a google search , Carnation or Strawberry coral
If so, then very LOW light, and tons of phyto, they are pigs. But check google first to make sure it fits the build.

Thanks for helping me guys, unfortunately he died about 6 month ago, I got him early on and lasted about 5 or 6 months, mine did the same thing, just withered into nothing. Ive been wanting to get anothe but havent had much luck till now identifying it. Now that im keeping clams and a scallop one should be fine right they eat the same stuff?
