Dendronephthya Carnation?

hi

Can someone id this coral for me? I bought it as white soft coral but if you look closely it has that sharp crackling effect patternation on its stem like the Carnation corals. It's been a slow grower and I have owned it over 6 months.

My systems is around 1,300l and is run on natural seawater with very large weekly water changes.

Word I was looking for was 'spicules', this coral appears to have them on its stems. So does that make it a dendro species?

Thanks!
