I was given this awhile ago when I first started my tank. No idea what it is. This is the way it looked when I got it and continues to do nothing. Thanks everyone

Not blasto; caulastrea (candy cane). Skeleton not exposed, that dark stuff is tissue. Could be deflated for a number of reasons (recently moved, etc). Here's a picture of a colony:

I agree with Shooter that it is a candy cane
These type of corals have short tentacles that trap food. These tentacles are extended shortly after lights out
I target feed mine with frozen baby brine or rotifers approx every 4 days, however I think that most don't feed them. I like to try and feed everything !

Yep when they're happy they get all puffy and translucent. But it's weird not everyone in the colony and to the same extent. I have mine med light low flow.
