Can someone identify this coral please?
Normally I don't do this, but I saw this coral in a dealers tank under poor conditions so I thought I might try to give it a better home. Picked it up for 15$. It's pretty browned out, but I'm not sure it even is supposed to have color. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Can't tell.
At this point it could even look like a P'd off gorgonia....

Found this in "AQUARIUM CORALS" By Eric H. Borneman.
Oculina Diffusa (diffused ivory bush coral). Page 264. Sorry, for the life of me I can't post pics here to save my life!
