Finally back to coral with Nepthea?

[JZ199]

So after having my 125 and 55 gallon fully stocked(still, with mostly "beginner corals") and taking my very long (7ish year) break, as a few may know I finally came back and have my new tank going(32.5 fluval flex)

After battling GHA and a few other issues, the tank has reached over a year and is finally starting to thrive and not present issues!

I figured it is time to start adding corals again finally, as I slowly continue to upgrade the tank. I have my heart set on a few I want to add, but today made an unexpected purchase at maybe a decent price?

It definitely was NOT happy in the tank, but since being put in QT has already began to look a little happier, hopefully it can be salvaged and thrive. My phone won't allow for the picture to show, but it's bright green. I'm thinking it's a Nepthea or maybe a Singularia?

Or maybe it's just a Kenya tree variation.

I got it for 14 USD as a "various frag"

Either way it's nice to finally have some color to add, and look forward to continuing to add more! Just wanted to share.

*Bright picture was at store before purchasing.
*2nd picture was after adding it

Nice coral! I still have my nepthea when I started this hobby like 15 yrs ago!

That is an amazing price for such a good size coral.

Thanks!! I was surprised how huge it was compared to everything else in there and the price of it. You can kind of see in the picture of it at the store how tiny the frag on the shelf underneath it was, and that was the same price!

Looking a lot happier a few days later!
