please help ID a coral

[Tampico96]

I bought a few corals from lwolfe44. He tossed in a coral that he did not know any info on. I dont have a slightest clue. I dont even know where to start looking to id it. To me it looks like drift wood that was painted with electric green paint. I'm at a loss. The pics are crappy but I took about 20 and these were the 2 best so far.

It's hard to tell, but I'd guess it's a hydnophora of some sort.

I know the pictures are terrible. I really need a camera with a macro lens. Thanks for the help. Going to use the name to look and compare. You gave me a atarting point.

Thanks

+1 on green hydnophora

After looking on google images. I would agree.

Thanks for giving me a direction to look. Could not search google to compare if I had no clue what to search for. Think you guys nailed it.

its not your camera. its your focus... you probably have it too close to your lens. Each camera lens has a Minimal Focal length

Could be. Never really use the camera for anything other than kids and birthdays. its a crappy p&s. I did notice that the background is clear and infocus. Auto focus because its too close. need to look into the settings again and see if there is a macro mode or similar. Will try to take photo again tonight after work.
