I bought this coral yesterday and I'm not entirely sure what it is

I think it is yellow

It's obviously some kind of tree coral but there's so many different ones, and I am not sure which one it is

I think it might be a carnation or a koji wada or something like that
However, they are so similar, I am unsure

What do you think it is?
Asking so I know to take the correct precautions!

Looks to me like a bleached Sinulara species finger coral.
Excellent! Thank you very much!
I spot fed it just incase it was something else, hopefully it will come back well and be happier than it was in the store, not sure how it even got to the bleached stage
 
Pic shows a very white image but either sinulara leather or colt coral. Will need moderate light and water flow. Too much light is likely what bleached it

Yeah never seen a bleached softie before, was completely throwing me off with what it was! Thank you for your reply :)
It's already looking less yellow and more pink which is great
 
Not Sinularia; Sinularia were reclassified in ~2022 to only include cabbage leathers. Likely Sclerophytum
 
What are your PO4 levels? Are you dosing anything?
Well I bought it like that and didn't realise it was bleached
However, it is recovering and everything else in my tank looks fine :)
And I don't dose anything, since my tank is anemones and soft corals
Also the other corals are not discoloured or anything and it's colouring back up to a more pinky colour, rather than a yellow colour like it was when i bought it, in fact its growing a little bit, so I assume everything is fine
