    I am calling 100% on Clavularia. You can see a base around the center that definitely looks soft. Also by the the stems length (pipe organ tends to be a much shorter stemmed coral). They will take as much light and flow as you can give them, but do well without. I have 4 frags in my tank, all the way from bottom corners with little light and flow to dead center top with blazing light and high flow. They get a little darker and grow slower with less of both light and flow.
    Grows extremely fast, and is very easy to frag. I set rocks around the colony. The stems will branch off and take root on the new rocks. Then I just literally rip apart the rocks once it has taken over them.
