I'm guessing Carijoa just based on availability. Also the polyps seem to be in small bodies vs. little "domes."
Any close-up pics available?
 
from subfamily Telestinae, consists of 4 genera: Carijoa, Paratelesto, Telesto and Telestula.

Pacific species has retractile polyps, tapering bushy branches connected by stolons and frequently covered by red sponge.
Carijoa riisei has densely branched, bushy colonies with polyps, including a terminal polyp, and white to pale piink stalks.
azooxanthellate, it must be fed fine particulate foods and tiny planktonic forms.

approximately three years to try to keep this type of body with all the inexperience still, today again I launched the challenge of trying to keep them:

some of the data is that the form of colony is that polyps are tall, thin, axial, lateral polyps with outbreak and are basically united by a network. polyps are monomorphic, retractable, with a short body, but can grow up to 20 cm high.

Family Alcyonacea Lamouroux, 1816
Gender Clavulariidae Hickson, 1894
