Looks like pocillipora. Though i have seen some softies that look like sps until you touch them. Is it rigid?

i would agree with the above, but from the 2nd pic it almost looks like hynophora?

it is def a pocilipora. looks like it might turn pink if you give it the right care. but it looks pretty browned out and it looks like the base is expelling its zooxanthellae. i would put it in a pretty high flow area. what type of lights do you have? how is you water quality?
