I got this coral as a unknown soft coral I thought it might have been a Kenya tree but it looks nothing like the Kenya tree it’s next to, a ID would be much appreciated, thank you.

There are many types of corals we call colt or kenyan tree. Looks closer to a capnella, but really hard to tell. Get some with polyps out too.

I think the polyps are out that’s the most I have seen it extended, yeah it looks more like capnella to me to
