    Appears to be a sarcophyton elegans aka fiji yellow leather.

    these corals need lots of light and a strong current, if not provided with these they tend to start to decay.

    Its commonly refered to as a toadstool leather. It does need good light and medium flow. It will extend finger like tentecles on its top surface when its happy. But dont worry to much if it dosent for a while mine goes into that shape for weeks before extending.

    good luck
