That's no xenia, Its a toadstool. ORA calls them long polyp toadstools, some stores here in Maine call them snowflake toadstools. Its still a small corals so the polyps look bigger over all.

toadsstool leather coral.

That's the common name i want to know the specific name of that coral, there are a lot of different toadstool leather corals out there.

 

[Hormigaquatica]

Sarcophyton sp. It is not possible to give an ID to species level without microscopic analysis, and even then may be difficult. A couple years ago a review of Sarcophyton and Lobophytum was done, and it turns out that many (possibly the majority) of corals within those genera were not identified/assigned correctly. So, for the time being at least, it is a Toadstool Leather.
