an ugly one.

Leather/finger coral.

Looks like a leather finger to me but needs some TLC

Needs A LOT of TLC.

hmm.. it actually looks normal to me, maybe a bit stressed from moving it or being recently acquired if that's the case.

Most Leathers I've seen are ugly to begin with so... I might be bias.

True, leathers are just about the weakest corals to own.

But that one looks stressed. Zero extensions and it's arms are even drooping down.

All this bashing the poor guy's coral for nothing, and nobody here could even come up with a scientific name for the guy! Lol
It's a Sinularia species, probably S. Flexibilis, but it's worth noting the texture appears very Dura-like. Flexibilis will be much softer and slimier than the Dura's wet cowhide feel.

Very sad fellow you got there. It has been a few years since I kept softies. I believe it is a stressed Kenya tree coral (Capnella Imbricata). Give it some TLC and it will look awesome.
