ID Question

[keefesn1]

Can anyone ID this for me? It was sold to me as a Neon Green Kenya Tree Coral.... but I don't think that's what I got. Thank you!

Sphaerella, aka Christmas tree coral

Here's another possibility.

Thanks guys. I did some research on the Christmas tree coral and it looked close, but not quite. This looks much more similar. Is it a common enough coral that it could have been readily available from a wholesaler? I was incredibly disappointed it wasn't the green kenya tree as I was trying to match another that I currently have.

All of the colt/kenya/christmas tree/pineapple blah blah are all very similar and very commonly mistaken for each other..
All of one form or another are usually readily available at retailers..

Diversity is cool man... embrace the difference

Sinularia?

Is it smooth or rough on the main stalk? It's most likely a sinularia sp. Most sinularia will have noticeable sclerites and will feel rough to the touch, much like sarcophyton or lobophytum sp.
