Hi Thalion - the galaxea comes in all different shapes and sizes. The "tentacle" length (without the sweeper tentacles) as well as the tentacle coloration makes think of the galaxea. BUT, if you do find the pic of the gorgonian, please let us know whether this compares better with your pics?
Thx jacquesb will keep on with google.

The polyp's are thin and not fleshy

The one I got has thin polyps.
Hi Thalion -
Have a look at this URL link - this is the reason why I thought you have galaxea corals:
Galaxy Coral, Galaxea fascicularis
