Common name = Pink tree coral. Either that or a Nephthea.

Cheers

Pending on a closer picture I would vote for a neospongodes sp

Nope... none of the above.

It's a classic Capnella (see Fabricius and Alderslade 2000, "Soft Corals and Sea Fans" page 125... but focus on polyp description despite the fact that their images match yours)

Normally hard to ID anything reliably from pics, but this is one conspicuous Neptheid genera
