I picked up this little coral from my lfs that appeared to be dying (figured I'd give it a chance), shortly after I realized there was something more on the plug, also Identification of coral would be helpful.

A hydra species most likely, which one, difficult to say. I don't think it will live long on its own.
 
Coral is a leather or Kenya tree. The little thing on the frag plug could be any number of things, but it almost look like a little dying gorgonian.
 
Branching formaniferan (Miniacina sp.) Harmless suspension feeders. Compare to the ones in the photos.
