    It is hard to tell, try the macro setting or close up (should have a flower icon). Looks to be a long polyp stony coral, like a Goniapora.

    i think it might be more along the kenya tree lines. doesnt look like a flowerpot to me or goniopora. doesnt seem to have the right structure for them.

    Patience is a virtue :)

    I am assuming you are talking about the green thing in the front. Is there any way to get a better/clearer photo?
