    I have one also in my tank also, mine i sbright green let me find the name. The guy i got mine from called it a tree coral but i dont think thats what it is.

    [​IMG] Its in the center i believe yours should be green like mine but its a leather so it should come back rather quickly.

    Looks like a sinularia or possibly a nepthea.

    +1 I am leaning more towards Nepthea.

    I have one that looks like that, I too was told Spaghetti leather (sinularia). It looked more spaghetti-ish in his big tank, and more green like yours when in my tank. It also got more fuzzy in my tank.
