The areas where it looks dead are just because my cleaner shrimp won't leave it alone so it goes into hiding. A few minutes after he leaves it comes right back out.
There are 24 fingers so it sounds like it is a gonipora. I'm sad to hear they don't live long. It is the neatest thing in the tank and my clownfish loves it. It probably isn't good for it but he sleeps on it at night while it is fully closed up.
Thanks everyone for your help! I really needed it.

I wanted to take it slow but found a good deal in the local paper for 90gal bowfront so I couldn't pass it up. Since it came with lots of live stuff I was forced to jump right into the fire.
