difference between colt coral and sinularia?

[Charlie97L]

every time i search for pictures of colt or sinularia, i can't distinguish which one i have. i'd like to know.

any easy identifiers?

Do you have a picture? Colt(Alcyonium) feel a lot mushier and slimier to the touch,Sinularia has a little more ''backbone'' to it. Usually colt is brown and sinularia can be brown / yellow / green.

In my experience sinularia tend to grow out in more of a bush shape (dense branches)
while a colt has more of a tree shape with less densly packed branches.
