unknown coral on my live rock
Hello,
hopefully someone can help answer what coral I inherited with my live rock. I am very new to this hobby and began with a bio cube for which I purchased "live Haitian branch rock" there was quite a few hitchhikers that I was able to classify with the exception of some coral. See attached photo |

Little tentacles
In the center of the pic, the "dead coral" - I cant get them in the pic... but if I look close there are little tentacles and at night there is a little bit of bright green.

Little tentacles
Actually, looking at the pics kinda does show them. The little pin pricks of light near the bottem of the coral. These structures are emanating from coral

Looks like a very healthy oculinid type coral.
