i think its possibly something called a heteroxenia, they have a body and head like a toadstool but xenia like polyps, hard to find a good pic with google though.

Looks like a mini version of a toadstool I have in my tank. I'll try to get a pic when it opens up.

Its definitely a finger leather, i have one just like it. Not too sure what that red thing is on it though, shrimp? anemone?

I agree with Mike. Looks exactly like the polyps on my toadstool leather (sarcophyton sp.):

That is a great shrimp that is in the picture as well. I had one that hosted in a fungia . I fed only reefroids in that tank to it seemed to do well.

LOL...I was wondering why you needed help identifying the coral! But everyone was shooting guesses at the coral, so I ran with it

I have never seen a shrimp like that before. In fact, I don't even know what I'm looking at? Can you get a full body shot? (ooh-la-lah...)

yea, i think i can ID a leather coral after all these years in the hobby LOL.
Well my own fault i need to be more specific for sure.

I've been tryng to get a clear shot at this thing for long time but it is so transparent that point and shoot camera doesn't focus on it. I will try with my D70 in manual mode to get a better shot.

If the shrimp is all transparent I would say it's a crystal shrimp. However if the red and white (that I see in the pic) is part of the shrimp (which I think it is) then I have no idea what type it is. Good luck. BTW I thought it was funny everyone was telling you what coral it was, when I thought for sure you must mean the shrimp ID
