Yours is actually look like mine, the Cauliflower Colt Coral, but the picture in liveaquaria may not look the same though, it's sort of pinkish rite?

Correction: Yeah I mean Kenya Tree Coral...

I would say its a kenya tree coral. I have the exact same species in my tank. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=597+600+652&pcatid=652 The one on live aquaria doesnt really look the same but if you google kenya tree you will find lots of pics similar to what you have. Oh and I just saw this but on live aquaria it gives another name for this coral and it is Nephthea. hope this helps
