Got given a few corals from a shutdown, seem to remember the previous owner mentioning this were Kenya trees but honestly I'm not too convinced as I don't see that cauliflower like polyp. Any ideas? I'm fairly sure these are soft corals. Want to make sure what they are so I can place them in a place that suits their needs.

They look like closed up green kenya trees to me.

May be. Is it normal for their polyps to be retracted this much, then (they look smooth to me)? The other Kenyas I have, when they retract, still see a distinctly cauliflower shape to the branches. They've been in the tank for a couple of days now.

It looks like it's not happy where it's at. I'd try moving it...after two days it should've opened up by now.

I'll move it next to the other ones. Thanks.

I learned something new today! Thanks Stephen8169301!

I've now moved it next to my Kenya, nephthea looks similar I don't see any polyps although a couple of them look to have a more rugged surface today. Might be the polyps.

The bicolor also felt he needed to make an appearance

Give it time to adjust it’ll take about a week to two weeks for it to really show itself looks good !
