Hi, just picked up this coral from LFS. The guy working said it’s a leather coral. Can anyone let me know if this is correct? Or can offer a more specific name than just “leather coral”?

They come in different polyp colors, yours are just not open yet. Usually yellow but mostly green in color. FYI, Where ever you decide to put that leather make sure you anticipate and plan out the growth. It will easily overshadow corals
 
Im thinking finger leather
 
fancy toadstool should have nice polyp ext, like flowers
 
Placement is a factor. They can get pretty large in time.
 
Thanks for the replies! From what I’m reading, they like moderate flow and moderate to high light? We’ve glued it to a smaller rock and will determine final placement as it grows or if it doesn’t like where it is now.
