    Looks like a ricordea I think that's what it's called. I'm a total newbie and this is just a total guess.

    Fla. Ric 100% sure. I have lots of them including that one witch I know is really nice. I don't feed mine I let them get what's in the water but some people feed them supposedly mine has never even tried to eat anything. If its in low to medium flow it will inflate decent and at night might ball up. Easily in my top three favorite coral
