I know it’s some type of leather but what is the exact type? How do you get it to grow in that shape and what are the care requirements?

Thanks

Looks like a Sarcophyton to me, the exact species is difficult to say without a photo of the stem but even then it will only narrow it down so far.
 
To me it looks like a lobophytum sp. fluo green, they are more pricy than a normal lobophytum sp. but since they are pretty easy to keep, it shouldn't be too risky.

I like the look of it aswell & might get one too! i allready have a sinularia sp. fluo green & it looks so cool.

I wouldn’t say it is a Lobophytum - their main characteristic is having lobes all in the centre of the polyp whilst Sarcophyton have a much flatter overall head with the edges being more lobed or in most cases flat.
