two corals 1 ID

Ok I picked this up last week (big one) sold as a kenya tree (NOT!)

but I am now not sure if this is a flexible finger coral - also is the other coral to close? (cauliflower coral)

 

hummm it has a resemblance but I am not completely convinced it is. Does not look like ones I have seen before or had.

 

Possible Sinularia I think

 

Def. a finger leather.

Also that cauliflower coral will need to be fed and you should definitely give it some space.

 

2in10 - don't thinks so - the ends are like whips with tiny little polyps (not feather like) at it's biggest it can be 4 inches tall - at it's smallest less than an inch and it looks like a fist

 

Yes so it is a flexible finger coral

I do feed the cauliflower

 

Heres a little more info about that coral from LA:

The Carnation Tree Coral or Dendronephthya Carnation is one of the most beautiful and peaceful corals, and is also known as the Cauliflower Soft Coral, or Strawberry Soft Coral. There are over 250 different identified Dendronephthya species. It is found in a variety of flamboyant colors with red or orange being the most common. It is normally shipped while attached to a small piece of live rock or coral rubble.

It is extremely difficult to maintain in the reef aquarium, and should be housed in an established reef aquarium, by the more advanced marine aquarist. It requires low lighting combined with medium to strong water movement. It is necessary to have a constant current with an abundance of algal plankton. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of strontium, iodine, and other trace elements to the water. It does not contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae. Therefore, its diet should include live, baby brine shrimp, micro-plankton, and other small foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates, in order to survive in the reef aquarium. These foods must be available almost constantly. Again, only expert aquarists should attempt to keep this coral.
