I need help in identifying this coral

I have this coral its sort of white with what it seems to be orange polyp. I though It was an orange pinapple coral but it doesnt seem so. Does anyone out there know the name of this coral? I know the branch looking one is a Purple Rod Coral.

 

that looks insane! got a better pic by chance? the closer the better.

 

Thanks. Ill get a closer pic and post it tomorrow. This is my first SW tank and its only been up 3 months.

 

it looks like a favia sp or favites sp. but a closer pic will help.

 

another pic

Here is a closer pic. The camera is ficusing on the reflection of the glass so the detail is not as good. Its started to die this morning I have relocated hopefully it can make a recovery

 

Its started to turn into mush and its losing its orange polyps ( I think that is what they are) Its a white mushy white stuff thats its turning into. This white stuff was firm and acte like putty. It would mold or form around the rock or anything it touched

 

It might not be a coral, maybe a sponge? The only corals I have seen that look anything like that, at least color wise are non-photosynthetic corals. You could try feeding it, see if it will take food. Have you noticed any tenticles around the polyps?

 

I would vote on Sponge as well. Or some sort of tunicate.

Sponge

It could be but its turning mushy and when it dies there will not be anything left behind

 

That looks like one of those fancy indo sponges to me, if so I dont think they do very well in aquariums.
