Hynophora. Careful on placement as this is an aggressive coral.

It will actively and quickly kill neighbors. Mine did fine with an Acropora neighbor for a while then one day... it was ugly. Check this out... EDIT: Not my video. Mine was green like yours and the Acro was about an inch away when the threads just engulfed half of it... As I said, it was an ugly massacre.
Dude! That is insane,. Looks like invasion of the body snatchers

(and this one can't see any tentacles, was w/o and in the tank before I got it for 5-7 days)

Yup... and it is a Hydnophora Rigida, green, for sure. Give it time to puff up and acclimate. It will look like the photos below...do you have any photo of it, I can't see something like mine under that name

Yup, that is exactly what is happening.
More like taking over their physical container.

I'll put it in a cage
Glass one Actually in that case will leave it far away from anything in the tank, over 3-5 inches should be fine. And when I have pieces from fragging which can't glue/use will give him to feed on as well
Is that fine ?

I wouldn't necessarily feed it coral. It is more of a defense response to an intrusion. Never fed mine. Just watched it kill two corals. After that, I made sure it was always given a wide berth.I'll put it in a cage

Wow, that is what nightmares are made of.!I’d be afraid to stick my hand in a tank with one of those soul suckers.

Wherever those tendrils land will be dead. It will not kill off the whole neighboring coral unless it can reach the whole thing. It is an indiscriminate killer but loads of fun to have, with caution

Thank you, just will leave it away from the rest of the corals (to good distance)+ the option to can easy change the position. I't still in the stressed position, don't puff yet, I shade it to can settle and lower a bit the WF because I see it start to peel, but the WF wasn't that much at all.
