Any softie id guru's out there?

Definately nepthea imposters, but i'd go with sinularia. And yes the smaller coral in question is a toadstool, 2 actually, with one splitting so technically almost 3.

Ok!! Check these out. I got some real good ones. One is the main colony that I gave him about a year ago.. And the smaller colony is a break off of his original. Good stuff. Here goes. Worse case scenario, I hijacked your thread Matt, and Mothera tell us what my imposter is.

First, two pics of the main colony.

And a closer polyp shot..

Here's a great shot of his smaller colony. You can see the polyps very well.

Nepthia imposters?

Sinularia flexibilis would be my guess.

I have a softie with very "different" colors and appearance than i've ever seen. I've tried to get a pic, but i think i'm going to have to switch to 10k bulbs to get the color right. If any of you are good at id's then when i get the pic up i'm going to need some help. The body color is pink and purple, VERY pink and purple, it also has some hints of green and blue. The body texture resemble a colt, but the polyp structure resembles a nepthea. I'll post a pick asap, but any guesses would help.

Try a search under scleronepthea and see if anything looks right. HTH.
