It is a Lobophyton species of leather. Goes by many names like ridge coral, sometimes devil's hand coral. Usually yellow with ridges extending upwards and small white polyps. Can expand to very large sizes, also deflates periodically, and can shed a waxy layer from surface. Needs good light and current, I think. HTH
