[Timanator]

First, Purplish, kinda like Kenya tree, but purple.

Then this Green thing, it's sthe same size as a Kenya tree at the branchs, but it's angular and no little tentacles everywhere.

The first one is a Dendronepthea, IMO.

Need better pics of the second one...WITH OPEN POLYPS, please.

I dont think so, this is very different from Dendronepthea. This is more like a Kenya tree.

no ployps, neither did the other pieces of it at the LFS. It is really radio active green!

Better pic.

First looks like a Lemnalia sp perhaps, or one related to that genus.

Second looks like an aggervated Sinularia. With no real defining characteristics visible though, its impossible to give a good ID.

Once again - IMO

New pic is much clearer...I would guess some form of Sinu. No polyps...wierd???Give it time...How long have you had them?

Hey Josh

I have only had the frag for about 3 days, the guy I got it from has a huge tree of it, and it was all angular looking and had no polyps of any sort in his tank when I was there.

 

[Scuba Josh]

Tim- No doubt it has great green color and I would love to get a frag myself!!!!
Can you get a pic of the mother colony?

 

[atzak]

they both look like nepthea to me

The first one is a Neospongodes, not a Dendro

The second could be a Sinularia or a Nephthya

Second one defiantly looks like singularia to me. Yours looks like mine did when I got it. It came from a friends tank, apparently it wasnt doing too well because it was shriveled up. When I put it in my tank it slowly opened from just a stalk to about 10 inches across.

Few days in my tank.

Several weeks later. Sorry for the poor quality, I was trying to take a photo from across the room.

Closed and semi-open polyps.

the 1st picture looks like Lemnalia

the 2nd picture looks exactly like my Green Nepthea

[xcreonx]

Neither of those are "Sarcophytons".

I think you've got good advice so far.

1. Neospongodes or Lemnalia (basically the same anyways)

2. Sinularia or Nephthya

 

[reeffreak2007]

1.Neospongodes(Purple Passion maybe)

2.Sinularia me thinks

I like the first alot.

nepthea to me
