Hi,

Could I get an ID on this coral? I know it’s definitely a soft coral.

Thanks

If it’s a soft coral, it can be some kinda a tree like nepthea, but the polyps are not opened , also the stalk/body should be lit more green. If you didn’t call out it as a soft coral I would have identify it as some type of Acro like Garf bonsaai. Anyway , not very confident what it is, let’s see what others say

I only acquired it an hour ago so it’s still fresh in the tank it’s body is similar to Xenia just a lot thicker (can’t see that in the pictures as it’s behind all the fingers)
