Do i look for something that will not happen?

I bought this "Leather Coral" one week ago. At first it remains like a small ball, after changing him two time i found the right spot for him. It opens during the day he is straight but my impression was that this coral was to have plenty of "hair" or polyps. If i take picture and zoom the picture i can see some polyps "hair" at the end of the "tentacles" but this is not what i was looking for when i bought this coral.

This coral will stay like this forever ? I read about "siphonozooid" polyps and my feeling is that my Leather Coral will never have the "hairy" look i was looking for...

What do you think ?

No way my clown will host my own leather coral like on that pic... :(

Another Petshop who sell me the wrong thing...:sad2:
 
Some are long and some are short. The long ones I've seen are typically pretty large.

Mine Green one looks about the same as yours.
 
When I first got my toadstool leather a while back it looked like a small pom pom, and I was like "I wanted one with long flowing polyps :(." Then after it got well acclimated to my tank and grew larger, the polyps extended way out and it was beautiful.
