It was free, but what is it?

A guy dropped a couple of corals off at the lfs when I was there today. Now, I got this thing, but I have no idea what it is. Any help is appreciated

It looks like one very upset leather. Give it a chance to extend it's polyps and then take another picture it looks like it might be a kenya tree.

It looks happier now . Here are some better pictures. If still better ones are needed, I can turn off my protein skimmer as it is making micro bubbles.

It looks like a pussey coral, I have one which looks similar to your pic

It looks like a colt coral to me

It's a type of Kenya Tree Coral.
Capnella sp. - The Kenya Tree Coral - The Free Information Society
I have one of these myself. It sometimes scrunches up like that, usually at night.

Colt, kenya tree and pussey are all the same family and look very similar with the same care and needs. I have a couple of kenya trees and if they act upset I always start by checking the salinity and usually correcting that corrects the problem. They are a good indicator but can become a pest because they do drop branches.

It kind of looks like a willow tree with one main trunk and several thin limbs that hang down. I took another pix w/out the skimmer running so it is easier to see.
