Which one is it?

The ones I have seen online have tubes running out of them, this looks
more like cauliflower or golf ball, no tubes

Just a closed up goniopora..

Did you just get that?
Its NOT a coral for beginners (or even experts really) as they (specifically the green) don't do well in captivity on average.. Most will get 6 months if that then they go down hill..
 
I'd suggest researching before purchasing in the future.. ;)

I did somewhat but you know noobs, kids in a candy store, shiny new glowly thingy, what you ma call it :-)

I traded for a frag, the guy who works there said this is a leather, he didn't know the exact name.

it looks like the micro green petals when it is out. My question is how long it stays retracted, few days?

Keep it in medium light/medium flow and it should come out fairly quickly once it gets used to its new home..
Give it a couple days..

The will routinely close up for a day to up to a week even and shed a layer of skin to clean itself..
 
^^^What mcgyvr said^^^

Depending on what else you have in the tank, you should consider running carbon in a reactor to help alleviate Allelopathy between the leather and other corals. The turpines they release into the water can irritate other corals. Carbon, and keeping up on water changes, can prevent issues before they happen.
 
I've never used it so I cannot say. Reading the info on it it seems geared more to nitrogenous waste, so I might be a bit skeptical. The advantage to carbon is buying in bulk and simply discarding when done. I get it from BRS in 5g buckets.
