this may have posted twice. Sorry in advance. Can anyone identify this. I can’t seem to find a match and I’m not sure how to care for it or where to place it. It was given to me. Thanks
 
Some kind of leather...leaning towards a variety of sinularia...
 
Definitely a leather, they do well in moderate to high lighting and flow, pretty low maintenance overall.

I'm thinking its either a Lobophytum or Sarcophyton, could be wrong though.
 
Could be a devils hand but polyps seem spaced too close...

There are "fuzzy" lobophytum that have the polyps much closer together, but still, the shape isn't quite right.
 
Thanks guys. I’ve looked up all the ones you said. It looks like some of them, but mine doesn’t quite match. Almost looks like it’s melting. Gonna just give it time and hope for the best. :)
