It looks like a Heliofungi and if it is Heliofungi are harder corals to keep for anyone.

"Although the skeletons of corals in the genus Heliofungia are nearly identical to those of Fungia, there is no mistaking them for each other. Heliofungia have long tentacles, often resembling a sea anenome more than a stony coral. In fact, the 'Long Tentacle Plate Coral' (Heliofungia Actiniformis) has the longest polyps of all corals. Often the tips of these tentacles are brightly colored; seen in pink, purple and green. Reef aquarists should note, these corals are much more delicate than Fungia and require regular feeding."
