Need help identifying coral

Hello all,

I received the pictured coral frag this week as an extra I’m a frag pack that I ordered. For the life of me I cannot figure out what it is. Can someone help??

Would like to know so I can care for it properly.

Thanks!

Octocoral (soft coral) of some kind. Looks like a variety of clove or glove polyp to me.

Careful to not let it get everywhere.

those are gorgeous and a well developed colony is a superior home/shelter for tons of the micro life that grows in our tanks.
