    Fish store said it was some kind of leather. Lime green color, beige trunk. glows with lights on. You can see the polyps opened up, they retract at night.

    It looks like a Cabbage Leather Coral (Sinularia brassica).;) It is also referred to as Flat Leather Coral, Flower Leather Coral, or Carpet Coral.
