Does anybody knows how to take care of it?

that looks like a finger leather frag, with no fingers of course, but they will grow. They like medium light and medium flow if I am not mistaken.

Looks like baby xenia to me. I base that on the "flower" shape of each stalk.

i think its possibly something called a heteroxenia, they have a body and head like a toadstool but xenia like polyps, hard to find a good pic with google though.

Looks like a mini version of a toadstool I have in my tank. I'll try to get a pic when it opens up.

I agree with Mike. Looks exactly like the polyps on my toadstool leather (sarcophyton sp.):

That is a great shrimp that is in the picture as well. I had one that hosted in a fungia . I fed only reefroids in that tank to it seemed to do well.
