Pray tell, what type of coral is this?

Hi! I'm being overrun by a soft, red coral and I need to sell some, but first I gotta find out what it is! Can you help?

Not a coral. Looks like Halymenia sp. to me, a macro algae.

I had a medium sized clump of this. The fish liked it and my little clown fish actually hosted it. (so wrong good thing he's cute)

it looks like a carnation to me..

That's not a coral... looks like red macro algae (Nemastoma, IIRC) to me...I think mewozer has some of it in one of her setups.

YUP...looks like it to me....I let it grow in the 29G, and every so often break some off and toss it into the 225G....the tangs (and others) LOVE IT
