Just bought a biocube 14 gallon tank off Craigslist because it had alot of different live corals in it.The whole thing was $200 so I could not pass it up. This will be my new hospital tank.Anyways It had a lot of different corals and fish.Just not sure what this is.It is peach in color and has the same flower tips as my zenia and is simular to my digita.Thanks..

Looks like a corky finger gorgonia.

I thought maybe a gorgonia too, but it is spreading all over the rock. I did not think they did that..

Yeah, that kind will encrust over anything. If it starts growing really quickly, you might want to keep it on a rock in the sand bed so it doesn't spread onto all your rocks. I have one, but it doesn't grow that fast. But I've read about other people having problems with it taking over their tank.
