Name this Coral!

I'm thinking some sort of pink carnation.

The coral itself is a soft-hardness. Not like my Xenia which shrinks down. This one stays its size, but has little pink like things that point out of the tips of the branches.

Picture is attached.

It goes by several different common names. Raspberry coral, cauliflower coral, pink colt and so on. Just try googling Alcyonium.

Cheers
Steve
