Again, with what you have, my guess is capnella species. More than likely the metallic green Japanese type.
 
Thanks all... Indeed, it does resemble a capnella, I have two varieties of capnella next to it in that tank (not pictured) and they don't really look the same. First the growth density of the polyps on my other capnellas are different, second, the polyps points are up with the other capnellas, but with this one they curl back.

Interestingly enough, I traced this piece back a bit and it is Japanese and it was imported into Canada from the only source of Japanese corals I have ever found here (I have traced all my other Japanese corals to this single shop). I did find this exact piece on another forum listed as a Japanese Lemnalia (also from a Canadian), here is his photo:

However, I can't find any pictures of other Lemnalias that look the same, with the same growth patterns (let alone green).

So, Japanese Kenya Tree it may be. It doesn't seem unreasonable to have slightly different polyps in different oceans! If anyone is interested, I could rearrange the tank a bit to have all three in the same picture...
Interested in seeing and frag
 
Hi Everybody!

I picked this coral up from a "basement store", but can't figure out what it is exactly:

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Neon Kenya, they are cool. Lot better than normal boring Kenya’s.
 
I agree with Neon green kenya. Unique corals sells them. They have a tiny one on there website now that i am thinking of buying. I used to have one and lost it when it was very small! Do you have any frags to sell?

If you are referring to this:

It's definitely not that. That "neon Kenya" is closer to my Green Fury Kenya, which is a very cool piece for sure. Good guess though!
