Help coral ID

Hello,

Can someone help me find the name of this coral, I bought it some days ago from my FLFS (far local fish shop) lol, I could not find the correct english name from what told me the seller (Chinese).

By the way the coral looked pretty good in the seller shop, but once I bring it back to my tank it looks now pretty bad

Euh no, its just keep the same as the picture all day... the day I bought it, the "branches" were up and now they are down like its dying.

Also, I dont know if my light are not good or what, but on the seller shop it was looking pretty nice using his blue light, but my blue light do not show up the same at all...

By the way can someone tell me my led light are good enough for a reef tank, this is the LED model I own : https://www.amazon.com/Green-Element...ds=odyssea+evo

Lol, can you recommend me a good led light for corals for a 25G tank (size : W60 x H40 x D40 cm ?

For the seller parameters, I dont know them and I didn't asked. For the seller's light, I remember only it was something very large and looks pro.
