Colt coral Cladiella/Klyxum sp, everyone mistakes them for Kenya trees Capnella, similar appearance different genus. Colts also don't drop babies nearly as often and get much much larger. I have seen some that were better than 2ft tall.

it’s slightly different from Kenya tree the polyps are massive, the hole coral is about 8 inch. This is from a shop in Liverpool

That’s the one thank you, it does make sense as this one already at a impressive size

If you want a frag of it let me know ;) happy to sort you one. But as long as indo corals keep coming in should be able to get some down south

Southwest Marines always has a nice selection of softies, they use TMC but also Import from Vietnam, that piece is very nice.

Looks like a Kenya on steroids for sure! Really rad... has that nepthea feel though...

Nice coral, did you pick it up? LOVE SOFTIES. You can tell by my build thread!

that was my initial tough :) got it with me now, I think it will look nice as a centre piece at the front of the tank, just for its size. Going to check your tread I’ve been converted to softy’s myself in the last few years.

Honestly in MY OPINION I just really enjoy the natural look and movement soft corals offer. Im not a big stick guy so it works out in my favor!

Its a nice piece! Look forward to seeing it in your tank!

Whats funny is 20 years ago these were much more common than Kenya trees, kind of rare niw though. Here is mine.

I recently acquired this cutting from a local reefing buddy... said it was green kenya... looked possible in the photos of it in the bag.. Got it home and well....

Big fan of softies and have had quite a few over the years...but... what is it?

ITS ALIVE!!

LOL any ideas what this may be? Thought possibility of an indo sinularia
