GorillaReefer,

It is still a bit hard to tell from your pics, but I would say that those polyps are retracted, making it Sinularia.

Some corals do contract their polyps so tightly that they look retracted unless you look really close (Klyxum, colt coral is a great example), but in Nephtheids, the polyps are usually clearly outside of the main tissue of the branch.

HTH
