Looks like it to me. Can't say 100% from those pics though.

Yeah my camera isn't good at close ups. The stalk so to speak is almost white and the hands are kinda brown and the stalk is soft and if you touch a hand it retracts back inside the stalk
it was a hitchhiker on some live rock andI have 2 more starting to grow

Looks like some small type a gorgonian , briareum usually as a purple color in its base. So small it's hard to tell

 

[kwandrsn]

The base part is kinda white. The hands are kind of brown

It was on Caribbean live rock

Lfs Googled branching briareum and showed me a pic that was closer than anything else so far
