It does looks like anthelia, the only thing is anthelia doesn't grow from tube like hard skeleton. Looking at the base I would say organ pipe coral.
May be anthelia took over dead skeleton?Interested to see what everyone else thinks.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

That is definitely a Pipe Organ, and one of my favourite LPS. I have 3 Pipe Organs. One has long polyps like that and is similarly colored, the other two are short polyped and white from Walt Smith.
