How do you tell nepethea from sinularia?

Polyp spacing and structure.

Any specific details? I've been searching a lot for info on how to distinguish these and it's been hard to come by.

Really comes from years of looking at them i spend hours looking at my coral id books when im bored

..but a sure way is to look for the presence scerlites at the base of the coral. All sinularia possess them and only the kojo pink nepethea has them .
