Hello,hehe it's me again :crossedlips:
I was trying to find the identity of this coral:

is it a mushroom finger leather coral?

Thank you

Thank you reefing madness!!

pretty sure that's sinularia, mos def not capnella

That coral pictured is fully extended. Sinularia fingers would be alot longer.

sinularia fingers aren't necessarily longer or shorter than capnella, nepthea, etc. ...it all depends on many parameters. It's not a good way to ID.

i'm sticking with sinularia.... however it's 99% not capnella/kenya tree, imo. And that's the little amount of detail I see from the polyp structure bw the two, not the shape of the "finger".

To be 100% sure, i need to see a decent close-up of the polyp, that's how the ID can be made definitively. Capnella is very distinct, almost cup-like, in an upward direction, just like in your GARF pic (it's similar to how a. millepora's coralites are organized).

The OP's polyps do not exhibit that characteristic from what i can see

Here is a closer look at the fingers of this leather:

Thank you guys! :
