Hi guys, need help for coral identification. Absolutely zero knowledge about them.

In the pic attached one of my friends posted a photo of a beautiful skeleton of a branching coral that looks like it was made of beads in her land hermit crab tank. I tried googling around for the name of the coral but could only locate and screenshot a photo from the coral identification finder of what I assume what the living coral must look like. Anybody knows the name of this particular coral? Thanks for te help.

Welcome to R2R! Some type of gorgonian perhaps? #WelcometoR2R
 
Did google image search for "acropora coral" and "gorgonian coral" but found nothing resembling this...
