    I got this coral a couple weeks ago, I'm not sure if it is a Kenya tree or not. All the supplier said was that it is a type of leather.

    That is a weird one, it looks kinda like a gorgonian, or maybe a finger leather...? I don't really know, can you get a closer pic?

    Looks like a strain of the tree to me.

    My supplier said that it was a type of finger leather. When he picked it up out of the tank, there were multiple pieces of small versions of it that had attached to the sand below it. So I assumed that it was a kenya tree because that's what they do. Here's a bit of a closer pic. I don't know if it would help much though.

    Hmmm, now it is looking more like a Colt Coral to me.... Very close resemblance to kenya tree. Whatever it is, it sure looks nice!

    I was initially weighing my options between a colt and kenya tree. I was more leaning toward the kenya tree after image searching on google.
    But i"m still unsure. Either way, do the polyps look fully extended?

    Is the polyp extension the same with yours?

    More like a Kenya. Here is my Colt, now I know it is huge but you will see the difference. Colts inflate more.
