Asterospicularia?

Does anyone know much about this coral? LiveAquaria has been listing them but I can’t seem to find much info on them. Wondering if they’re branching or what. Hard to tell from the pics since they give it from top down.

liveaquaria cultures them, and they say you might get either the branching or matting form. I had one for a while and I think it was the matting form. It was not particularly impressive.

This one from divers den however is from ORA, and looks different. They don't have it listed on their site but they might respond to questions about it.

Yeah I noticed that it looks different from all the purple ones I’ve seen. I will see if they respond to a question.

They sent me additional pics but didn’t really answer the question haha. Looks like the matting form? But not sure.

I have owned a red one for 3 months. Bought from Divers Den. The growth form is similar to a Bonsai tree. There is a stalk structure but it quickly branches out About 1.5 inches above the base. I have noticed lateral growth but not vertical growth. It seems to tolerate high light but prefers low flow. It is colorful and nice but I struggle with what to do with it for aquascraping. The only cool thing they do is change from red to white when touched anywhere by an invert.

I’m interested to hear from anyone who has this coral. Any pictures? Might be an interesting addition to mix softy/mixed reef
