Help ID this please

Hello hello, could someone please identify what this coral is? Starting to shed a ton and will have some nice pieces from it.

 

[blaxsun]

No idea, but it's nice.

Is that stony? It looks leathery?

 

[Cell]

Pink digi?

 

[Uzidaisies]

Looks like Sinularia to me.

It isn't stony, likes a lot of flow.

It’s just that you put this thread under small polyp stony coral.

Looks like a devils hand leather.

 

[Uzidaisies]

Ah yeah or that, I’m not familiar enough to tell them apart.

 

[nereefpat]

Devil's hand and finger leather and other similar leathers are all in the Sinularia genus.

Either way, its some type of finger-y hand-y leather. :p

+1 to nereefpat. Sinularia sp.

I thought devils hand was Lobophytum

 

[DeniseAndy]

The normal Devils hand is Lobophylia, but some call this thinner finger one that too. No commonality. I would have called this a finger leather. Finer branches than a Lobophylia.

Looks like that is right. There are lots of leathers and lots of common names for them.

It is, that and thick finger.
Sinu is cabbage and the classic finger leather (most commonly referred to as sinu).
Sarco is toadstool.
My devils hand looks just like the one in the op’s post, but smaller.
You can tell the difference between sinu and devils hand based on the amount of polyps (fewer on lobo) and the length of fingers (fewer but longer fingers on lobo and shorter but more on sinu).

I feel like there’s another genus still that looks very much similar to Sinularia, but I can’t remember the name.

 

[Uzidaisies]

Or maybe I’m just thinking of Lobo lol idk
