Hi
Can anybody help with id for this coral. Was selled as klyxum or colt coral but i never seen one in person. On the photo it looks like dendronephtya to me. Is it even partially photosintetic or full nps.
Thnx

That does in fact resemble a colt coral. I wouldn't question it if it was labelled as that.
 
It might be just the lighting throwing me off but it looks more like a carnation coral (dendronephtya). What does it look like closed up?
 
Will try to photo when its closed . It is pretty stiff and when i touch it it is not closing to much.

Because of the needle like structures in it, i would lean further to a nps carnation coral
