I picked this up with my first coral (a frogspawn) and I can't remember what the LFS told me it was. Anyone know? In the picture there is also a smaller one to the left tho it is a different color..

Looks like a colt of kenya tree to me.

Looks like what they call a red carnation (even though its purplish)Dendronephthya sp. Hard to tell for sure from the pic.

Based on the picture and the fact that many species of octocorals(soft corals) are similar in appearance/build and color, it is hard to know for sure without viewing their sclerite makeup to truly depict what in fact you ultimately have!
It could be Nephthea, Lemnalia, Cladiella, Sinularia or Capnella!
I would negate it being Dendronephthya as the sclerites of it are brightly colored and spiny!!

Looks almost just like the red carnation I got in by mistake a few weeks ago.
