My dad picked this coral up for me and i have no clue what it is.

All i know its some kind of leather tree. Any ideas?

I have it set in the middle of the tank, under 4 T5 bulbs and some flow. Is this a good position or do i risk bleaching it?

That looks like a green finger leather & the positioning looks fine.

Ah sweet thanks. My dad told me that in the store it was a lot bigger. Is the coral still getting used to the tank and will grow back to its original size?

I have one and they can get bigger and smaller depending on... who knows what? Almost like an anemone, most days they are big and once an a while one blows out all it's water and shrinks down for a day... then blows back up again?
