Soft Coral ID

[Onestowe]

Hey, can someone help me out with an ID on this please?

I think it could be Cespitularia but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Hmm... I don't think its Cespitularia... I'm gonna do some digging and get back to you!

I've done some digging and can't seem to find anything... It looks similar to a Kenya tree but the polyps are different. If I were you I'd try and look at corals similar to Kenya trees and go from there. I hope someone else can help you out!

Have on mind, it can be invasive.

And WELCOME TO R2R, have a nice time here ;)

My vote is for “fuzzy” Cespitularia, looks similar to one I have seen on marinefarmers.com

I have a big colony of that fuzzy cespitularia from marine farmers- this looks kind of the same. Honestly I have no way to ID if it really is a cespitularia or not.

Thanks everyone!

I really should have asked before I bought it, I assumed it was Xenia. I'm going to ask when I go back in.

It does look kinda like this:

The featheriness seems quite unique though.

Isn't the kenia tree I guess, it look like the one you say Cespitularia sp
