I think that's an encrusting Gorgonian. Like the standard star polyps, they don't like getting moved and can take a while to open in a new tank-- sometimes a week or more. If it's in strong light and good current just leave it alone. It'll open eventually.

yeah, the red one is a different type of Gorgonian-- non photosynthetic and very difficult to keep alive, especially in a new tank. The one you got is photosynthetic and much easier to care for. Just give it time and make sure it's in strong light. Looks a bit shaded where you have it.
