Cool What is it?

Being new to marine aquariums (actually a restart from many years ago),,,
I picked this up,,,was told it;'s a ,,,pora of some sort(but I don't think so). Can anyone help I.D. this?coral? The picture color is not quite correct. In blue light the tips are a fluorescent green, the rest is a pale brownish. It's about 2 x 2 with near 3/8 to 1/2" tentacles,unless searching for food where the tentacles stretch to 3"plus w/whitish tips, but never all at once, just a few to a dozen at a time.

Thanks much
bewildered.

It looks like a Galaxea coral.
