Scleronepthya possibly, although most of these are hard to ID.
I've been trying to get info on them, but general anything with nepthia in the name may be difficult to maintain long term.

It is thought that they eat phytoplankton, plankton and coral mucus/ bacteria. They need good flow and most reports say locating them upside down in a current is best.

Other possibles are:
Dendronepthia
Nepthia

Probably the best news is that Scleronepthya may be relatively easy to keep if fed regularly. Fauna Marin do a range of foods to target these corals, but the foods are expensive.
