Whatever it is, it is a photosynthetic gorgonian. (Brown polyps as opposed to white or coloured). My semi-educated guess would be Isis huppura or maybe a Rumphella sp. gorgonian.
http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/2414_Isis_hippuris.htm http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/2059_Ru...a_sp.%2002.htm It may also be a Briareum sp. (corky sea finger), it's a fairly common photosynthetic gorgonian in the hobby. http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/2060_Br...tinum%2001.htm But the reason I think it's likely #1 or #2 is because you said the branches are thin, corky sea fingers tend to be pretty stocky (1/2" or more wide branches, at least I think so). Not real 100% on the ID's, I just look at pictures a lot and those are the ones I think most closely resemble what you've got.

Here is another pic with the flash on... the stock of this coral is soft enought that it sways with the wave box.
 Funny you should mention the white color Tony.... My wife said when she picked up the frag it seemed much whiter in his tank... Not sure if it is coloring up now or is supposed to be white. Cheers Lawrence Last edited by Pazil; 03-20-2009 at 04:55 AM.
