Hi all
I call one Kenya tree and the other one i call wavy hand? Yes? Lol.
What are these called these days and how much are they?
I think the red wavy hand is a little more rare? Thank you for your input

Kind of hard to make them out on my phone but I’d say Kenya tree and Anthelia (not sure what types). Neither are relatively expensive. Definitely on the lower end of what most corals cost. We’ll have to see if anyone agrees or has a different opinion.

At first glance I thought the red one was anthelia also, but upon looking closer, I’m not so sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anthelia with such a thick base/stem, it’s usually more matting (but I’ve not kept a lot of anthelias, learned my lesson many years ago). The color is also a little off for anthelia. It almost looks more like a lot of the ‘Japanese leathers’ that I suspect are Neptheas, I’ve got a little green one with reddish polyps. If that’s what it is, it’s worth maybe $100-$150, but would need to see more pictures to properly identify (if you have a macro lense, a close up of the polyps, and also the stalk/stem would help). The Kenya tree is worth maybe $10-$20.
