So I bought this from Petco on an impulse thinking it was a sinularia. After looking at it bit more, I’m thinking it’s just a Kenya tree coral….thoughts?

Still looks like a Sinularia to me the stocks, branches and polyps look consistent with Sinularia, I just haven't seen one so white before. It's kinda neat.
 
Wow, I have never seen a white sinularia! I hope you share some pictures as it grows out.
 
The color is what struck me the most. I figured likely bleached but it looked otherwise healthy. Couldn’t pass it up for $20. I’ll keep you guys posted as it grows out.
 
Keep us posted how this coral is doing. I also think it is bleached and I am not big fan of buying corals from Petco as I do not believe they take proper care of them.
 
Following to see how the coral does!
 
technically Sclerophytum; all Sinularia (except S. brassica) were reclassified to Sclerophytum around ~2022
