Looks like a gorgonian. I am not certain if it is photo or non-photosynthetic though. I have several gorgs and love them.

Xmas Tree Coral maybe? I am picking one up soon ... And yeah they are photosynthetic.

Yay, Julian!!! I would say Eunicia fusca, maybe? Yes, it is photosynthetic...grows pretty quickly for a gorgonian!
