Can I please have an ID? :)

I was told this was a Kenya Tree, but I didn't buy because of that...I just thought it was pretty. Anyway, it's a leather, just don't know what type. It's the blue coral in the upper right hnad corner of the pic (just right of the toadstool). Can someone please help? Thanks!

Closer pic would help.

Maybe lemnalia sp.?

I'll get you one tomorrow, this one was taken by a friend of mine since I wasn't able to be home today.

It looks like a Keyan tree(capnella) or possibly sinularia.

BTW, you have a great looking tank. The corals look so healthy. What type of lighting are you using?

 

[Dani Arnanz]

That polyp distribution is from a Capnella for me... not sinularia

Thanks a ton for the help guys; so I guess the guy at the fish store was right. I didn't know Kenya trees looked like that otherwise I would have bought one a while a go...haha. The coral still hasn't opened it's polyps but it's only the beginning of the second day (even though I drip acclimated it). Oh well, my toadstool took a couple of days as well.

Dustin: Thanks for the compliment! I'm currently running 65w 50/50 and 96w actinic of PC lighting, but I'll be switching over to 150w HQI 14k soon. I'm so stoked!

Dani: Thanks for the help!

Hey guys, here's some closer shots of the coral. Thanks for the response so far. Also the tanks kind of cloudy cause I stirred up a little sand cleaning it this morning. Here you go:

One more question: The polyps aren't open on that coral right??

 

[dustin323]

No the polyps aren't open, but it is definately capnella. I have one & love it. Mines a whiter color.

Thanks Dustin, as mentioned before my toadstool took a couple of days to open up back during the summer, but is it ok that it hasn't opened up in the first couple of days?

 

[dustin323]

I think it is fine softies are wierd like that sometimes. When I had gotten a sacrophyton it took a week or two before its polyps opened.

 

[kaserpick]

Well that's definitely encouraging. Thanks again Dustin!

I agree capnella.
