Without a photo identification is nearly impossible. Possibly singulara?

That's tough to figure out. Email yourself the pics and when asked agree to have the pics resized down. Usually that's the perfect size to post on RC.

Alternative plan is to go to the sponsors pages and find a pic of your coral for ID.

Try opening a photobucket account. Upload the photos then post here using the IMG tab in PB.

And I hope you're going to say this is a coral you haven't bought yet. Of course you wouldn't want to buy a coral you have no ID for and don't know how to care for.

plus how do i use it

You need to start an account. Its pretty simple. Then upload your photos to PB. Once they're uploaded each picture will have a few selections underneath it. Highlight the IMG tab and copy it. Then paste into your post and the picture will appear in a post.

Sinularia (finger leather)

does it always look like that, or is it sometimes bushier?

It grows differently due to different amounts of flow, with low flow it usually grows taller and slimmer, but with high flow it has lower growing stalks, and a wider base, (more bushy)
