Coral ID help

Can anyone tell me exactly what this is? During the day it is a hard, little, red blob. It has PE at night, tripling in size. Polyps are white/pale pink.

Some type of nonphotosynthetic coral. Chilli coral or dendronepthea/carnation coral maybe.

Agreed, Chili Coral.
Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Chili Coral, Nephthyigorgia sp.

Thanks. I was thinking chili coral too. Looking at the info linked by Reefing Madness, it is for experts only. Well, it's in my tank (no expert). I'll read up on it and try to take care of it. Wish me luck!

Looks like a Chili, but the polyps seem larger than a chili

They are much larger than what I've seen in pictures of others.
