I have had this coral awhile. The guy at the LFS said it was a leather, but it never sheds skin and texture looks different than most leathers I have seen. What do you all think.

Looks very much like 'pulsing sinularia'. A lot of people call any larger octocoral a Leather, though I wouldnt personally use that term to describe what you have.

They do shed, but not very often. Can grow exceptionally large, and pretty quickly. I have two big colonies of it in my tank that at one point would have been over 4 feet across put together, all from a single 2" branch. Good stuff!
