I think it's a Neospongodes sp, or similar, but have a little concern that it could be one of the complete nonphotosynthetics - ie Dendronepthya, etc.
Does it come out in the day and retire at night?
its open most of the time some times it deflates it self to a little nub and i saw 2 new ones stating to grow on the same rock

Looking like a Dendronephthya sp.. If so a non-photosynthetic needing to fed often. One of the more challenging of coral to maintain.
thanks i'll look it up

do a search for "carnation coral".
btw- you know you have to feed that sun coral in the backround daily right? that requires meaty foods directly on the polyps when the lights go out and they extend. btw- it also gets no benefit from light, so you can put it in a shaded area.
you might be able to train it to open when they lights are still on if you put it in the shade, and put some food in the water column..it will smell the food and should open for you.
