I think that's blue ridge coral. Neat coral, as it's one of the few octocorals that form a skeleton.

Not all blue ridge corals (heliopora) have blue skeletons. Heliopora hiberniana has a regular white skeleton.

I have one too! It’s a very interesting coral and loves to be high up in the tank with lots of light.

Wow, I missed the announcement in 2018! I have a Heliopora coerulea and just learned about it's long lost cousin. Thanks for the info.

Yes, you made me look>
