See if the store you got it from can ID it for you. Looks like a dendrophyllia maybe, but kind of hard to tell from the picture. (I assume it's the reddish one at the bottom.)

Dendronepthya virtually impossible to care for in an aquarium, these seem to be hitting alot of stores lately and are better off left in the ocean

It is a Dendronephtya or carnation coral non photosynthetic really hard to care for high flow low to no light I had one for 3 months until tank had an ammonia spike. They like nutient rich enviroment and stable temps.

Pink carnations are very difficult to keep.

Try varying the location with regard to flow and light. Try not to put it in direct light.
