What is this called?

The guy at the LFS told me the name, but I seem to have slept since then and an image search didn't even come close to id-ing it.

I think its a unhappy Anthelia Waving Hand Coral... I have one that is 14x6 and its polyps (fingers) Will often reach 4-6 inches..

Its its the same as mine its a very picky coral. I Can watch mine to determine issues in advance. it senses the water better then a test kit it seems.

thx... this is just a small frag, a couple of inches long that the LFS owner gave me with another purchase. He had it growing in batches 6" or better in his parent tank. It's been in my tank about a week.. got blown around a few times in the current, so he's had reason for some stress. I've got his little piece of egg crate rubber banded to the ornament now.

It is called Anthilia. It can overtake a tank in short order.
