Garf Grunge hitchhiker - ID?

I ordered some Garf Grunge for my tank well over a month ago. I saw this thing when I was putting it into my tank, and I *assumed* that it was some kind of dead coral skeleton. I thought it looked different, which is why I noticed it. I honestly hadn't paid it much attention since, as it is in a back corner of the tank behind the LR and next to an old hermit crab shell.

 

I was algae-scraping the tank and noticed that it was in a different place, it is bigger, and the tenticle-thingys are swaying in the current! It is small, maybe 1 to 1 and a half inches across. I managed to get a half-decent pic. I am *not* an invert person and I have no clue what this thing is! It must be hardy because it hasn't died yet and I have given it no attention (no special feeding, etc). The only other inhabitants of the tank are 2 baby O. clown fish.

 

There is a shell in the background that makes it look bigger than it is, so keep that in mind.

 

What the heck is it?

Oh!!!

 

that's not aptaisia!

 

cool, that would be a free hitchhiker coral.

 

It's a baby leather coral.

 

they are hard to indentify that small, but it could be a umbrella leather or something along that line.

Ok, pardon my ignorance :o) but since I'm a fish person, and NOT an invert person...what the heck do I do to keep it alive?

So is this one of the light feeding corals? LOL I really am totally ignorant when it comes to inverts. It's been in there for at least a month and it has gotten bigger/is still alive, so I must be doing something right (?)
