    Hello all! I got this frag from a friend of mine, and we're both not sure what it is. It looks like a fuzzy finger leather, or a fuzzy Kenya tree. Pics show it open and closed up.
    Sorry bout the pics, they were taken with a small digital camera. Thanks!

    Kind of looks like athelia. Hard to see on my phone though.

    In my opinion it does not look like anthelia, but maybe some type of oddly shaped white toadstool-like coral/leather coral?!? No idea... but it is very cool!

    We've both been trying to identify it, (my friend and I), and she knows a lot more than I do. Hers is so big and cool looking! Here is a shot of hers:
