I got this coral a couple of days ago, It is a peachy/pink colour, ball shape on a stem and prickly, can anyone tell me what it is? I've looked on the web but cant find it, if you do know what it is maybe you know how to feed it, I've tried phytoplankton and live rotifer. Thanks!

Looks like a small toadstool leather, possibly? Look up a few pictures of that and see if they match.
 
While the cap on top does have the shape of a toadstool, it looks like it is just cut that way and it appears to have a differently shaped top. But I could just be looking at it wrong.
It looks like a funny-cut colt or maybe a dendronepthia sp. Do you have another picture?
 
definitely a dendronepthia aka carnation coral. a non photosynthetic coral that is fairly hard to care for and keep alive long term.
