Leather Identification - Finger or spaghetti?

[ClutchCityReefer]

Can someone help me ID this leather coral? It was sold at the LFS as an "assorted leather."

I know there is such thing as a spaghetti leather / finger leather but this doesn't look like those based off the pictures I've seen (although it sounds like a good name for this). The pics of those corals appear to be more branching, while each of these individual "dreadlocks" is separate.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Also this is the "spaghetti finger leather" as sold by various sites online

Looks like the rare Puffed Cheeto leather ;)

lol I agree, "cheesie puff leather"... I've never seen one like it before (although admittedly I've never really been a leather kind of guy so I am not very informed on the subject)

Unique....never seen one like that

Almost looks like Neomeris Annulata on steroids...

Thanks guys, at least I am not the only one somewhat puzzled.

That one does look similar @FUNGI, but that one still looks like it is branching a bit more (or am I hallucinating?)

yeah....yours is very unique.....I would call it a Bikini Atoll Leather

You're awesome @Sigmund , that definitely is it! Sounds like I need to go down at night and check them out with my flashlight

I am very glad I bought this on a whim at the LFS for $80... just wanted to type that out because that may be the first time that sentence was uttered
