Indo Duncan....NOT ??

[Sea MunnKey]

My and my buddy picked up this Stick Polyp (Acrozoanthus sp.) species yesterday but then after checking 'thru most infos and pictures..this specimen has very long flowing skirts and just for fun sake ...I called it the Indo Duncan...:D (The skirts have hues of Neon Green to Bluish tint under certain light angle!!)
Anyways kidding aside...can anyone ID this Coral and please let me know what exactly it's ID is?

Thanks in advance.

We're not really sure even if the stalk is a live one although it does grow upwards with all the Polyps. The stalk is attached to a small rock by means of a rubberband...
The regular Stick polyps have short skirts whereas this species has long flowing ones... ???

ya, you gotta watch out for the sponges on the tube base.. i lost the majority of the colony due to them.

Thanks guys. I was told that this piece of Stick Polyp's from the Indo region.
So far I don't see any Sponges.. The long flowing skirts and the Hues of Bluish Green tint that's really Kewl!!
