Leather ID

[P500]

Does someone know what kind of leather this is? It does not look like a normal Sinularia. It's growth shape is different and the polyps are a bit yellowish.

How big is it? It looks like a sinularia. Are thinking of a nepthea? Those have longer 'branches'

I don't know what it is, but its a lovely specimen.

Looks like a pocilliopora coral. Actually a sps but is easy to keep and good for beginners, if that’s what it is.

It's something around 25" ( 10cm). I also have a Sinularia but the Sinularia has more branches/fingers. This one grows different, more like a broccoli from the top.

Thanks! It's a nice coral indeed, just curious what it is.

Thanks, I only don't see something stony in the coral that's why I thought it should be some leather.

On the left below is a Sinularia. They look somewhat similar but definitely not the same.

Searched some more and I think it is indeed some sort of Sinularia but just not a Sinularia Flexibilis. Growth form looks more like a Sinularia Levi.
