Aren't they usually green in center? These are completely pink.
 
Does it extend from central base or branching skeleton?
 
I would have to see some skeletal structure. I am on the fence Dendophyllia vs a Goniopora, I need an image including the complete body.
 
This is the best shot I can get. I'm just taking a screen shot from a video of this coral. I've never seen it before and might like to add it to my tank.

It looks similar to my short tentacled Duncan but they are light brown/purple, not pink
 
Thanks everyone. I was thinking Duncan but googled pics and couldn't fine one that matched. It could be the color from the camera that took the video.
 
Duncans
 
Depends also on the depth from lights to corals, water clarity, etc.
 
Agree it's a duncan (but only by virtue of that last photo; you can see it's actually green in the lower half). But the lighting that photo is in is rather terrible - it may have a red LED shining on it.
