Sinularia dura, probably. A great coral in my opinion, grows quickly and easy to frag.

Could it be another acronym for Rhodactis mussoides, or elephant ear? a soft coral. SH

I've got a sinularia dura which the LFS called a mouse ear coral - also called cabbage leaf coral I think. HOWEVER I was reading something the other day which showed a blue/purple encrusting 'algae' which I've also got in my tank which I've never managed to identify and that was labelled mouse ear coral too. It'll probably be one or the other I'd say.
