I recently snatched what I thought was a devil's hand leather but after closer inspection I dont think it is one, the polyps are so different compared to online pics. I cant figure out what this is, Ive only found 2 matching photos and neither source know for sure what it is. It has green centered polyps, which Ive realized no leather corals have on any websites. Hopefully someone here recognizes this coral!

@walligee I found it at a specialized Petco located in Atascocita, TX. After I bought this one they restocked with 3 more that look exactly the same. They are unlabeled. Definitely looks odd for a normal devils hand leather, no pics on google match it. Here is a thread I found, this guy has the same thing:
Here is another that looks similar:
 
I thought all their corals were ORA. Might be this one.

Im not sure if it is ORA. In the same shipment they got in Yellow Polyps (Parazoanthus sp.) which I dont see on the site. This petco custom orders for people and gets some really oddball species in both saltwater and freshwater. I imagine they are mostly using Quality Marine
