Coral identification

[Raf]

I cut this coral out of a tank because it has a super nasty sting! Anyone know what it is? It is brancy, grows a bit like a gorgonian, the polyps open up into puffy tops kinda like cauliflower.

?

That is one weird looking coral. No pics of it in-situ with the polyps out? Is that skeleton stony or fleshy?

Never seen galaxia grow like that, looks like a gorgonian that stings sorry no idea

It's rigid but flexible... Kinda like a gorgonian. The tips are very glassy when the polyps are in. In Situ, not likely it's in my garbage can after stinging me so bad I had welts for a month...
