What time of coral is this?

my LFS said it was an aropora but I havent been able to find a picture of a matching acropra so, I am asking the pro's. The pictureis the best Icould et without disturbing it. It has a think skeleton that looks like a tree branch but seems to expand and looks very fluffy. It has small pinkish tentacles all over it and it glows green under the acinic lights. Any ideas?

Difficult to see in that picture. Will Probably have to get something a little closer before people can get you an ID.

its close but no its not that...it is reallypuffy almost like cotton candy, but when i move it or touch it it draws up and looks likt a tree branch.. ill see if I can move it to the front of the tank and get a picture, it seems to like the fast/moderate water flow but hopefully itwill expand in the low flow area so i can get a better picture
