Can anyone identify this leather coral?

Looks like some sort of Sinularia leather coral but I'm hoping someone will give me the species name so I can research its husbandry prior to purchase.

Borneman's Corals book shows some similar specimens that he calls Sinularia, but he doesn't list a specific species name. I've seen similar corals sold under the common name of 'neon mumps'. I've got something similar in my tank, albiet smaller (it's only 3.5" tall, for scale). It's in the back, so it's not getting the strongest light or flow, but seems to be doing well.
