Finger Leather? Just a guess but in the pics you can see 8 arms on each polyps which makes it some sort of octocoral

definitely not a finger leather or any soft coral in fact. It looks like a type of gorgonian sea fan Eunicea sp.

Your going to need to feed it phytoplankton regularly to keep it alive. It looks like a healthy one, but requires some attention regularly.
