What Kind of Coral is This?

I have this coral and I have absolutely no clue what it is. Please help as I am really curious. I have looked all over the internet.

Lps coral. Not the greatest pic but looks like a candy cane. Is it on a hard stalk? Cause there are other lps it could be such as blastomussa, small lobophylia, micromussa

I agree. It looks like a teal candy cane, but difficult to confirm from the pic.

It still looks like a candy cane to me, but the tissue looks like it may be a trianglular shape. Is the skeleton trianugular or round?

Also, have you seen any tentacle extension?

The skeleton is triangular shaped with rounded corners. No tentacled extension.
