To me it doesn´t look like a gorgonian (or other octocorallia) because it seems to have a well defined axial polyp (if it has polyps) and the polyps sit on long stalks while in gorgonians there is no well defined axial polyp and the polyps are arranged along the axis and not on separate stalks.
Does it have a stony skeleton?
Or is it a completely soft coral?
Do the polyps open more, if so what do they look like? Color, shape, how many tentacles, etc
