Can anyone ID this piece?

I picked this up but I have no idea what it is. The guy who sold it me to didn't know either. I liked the long green feeders. So I took a chance on it. The feeders sometimes come out about an inch.

It does look like my Oulophyllia except I never get mad polyp extension like that. Perhaps I have a different species of Oulophyllia. Was this pic after food was itroduced into the water column?

No, that pic wasn't taken during feeding. Weird part is that the feeders come out like that randomly. Sometimes during the day while the light is on and sometimes when the lights are off. I haven't tried to feed it yet.

I like that coral too It does look like candy canes without the stems. Very interesting, I may start keeping my eyes open for one

I think I have one of those as well. It has grown a bunch in the last year. Really cool coral.
