Coral ID: Dendronephthya vs. Umbellulifera

I've been observing an NPS coral from a LFS, but no one has a positive ID. I'd like to rule out the red carnation coral, an advanced species that I'm unable to care for. Hopefully it's the Red/Orange Tree Soft Coral (Umbellulifera sp), which Live Aquaria and Aquacon label as moderate care corals. It would be nice to add their color to my current reef tank if possible!

Below are a few photos of the different ones I'm interested in:

Thanks for the ID, fishnerd. Looks like I'll stay away from purchasing one since I won't be able to provide for its long-term care.
