As stereonephthyas are my favorite corals I hope to get to 150 of them one day. Picture 1,3,4 is Stereonephthya without a single doubt. The upper left gold one (#2) is probably a stereonepthya too, but they usually only have multiple thin shoots. Lemnalia's (possibly pic #2) look like Stereonephthya's but are softer to the touch. I would buy any intact (or fragged) from you, name your price. I would assume shipping is 100-200 overnight. Ridiculous these days but it is what it is. Stereonephthyas are like sandpaper and look like they are made out of fiberglass. If you want to keep and not sell them, hit me up on care as I have 30+ and have kept them for over a decade possibly two.
The one funny thing about them is even though the are PARTIALLY photosynthetic, they are so much harder to keep alive than dendronephthyas or scleronephthya's. You MUST have super random high current and feed at least 1 time per day. They are the hardest "leather" to keep alive out there. If they wilt or lean over they need higher current.
This is from my experiences only, not gospel of course. different for each person.
HTH.
Yes, they look like they are constructed of fiber glass. Thinner tissue then a kind of matrix of scaffolding that's a bit more opaque. They're all kind of rough feeling. Nothing like a capnella tree.
My tank has very, very good flow. It's 24X48 and I have two of jaboe's cross flow. I change up the setting daily, but my default is the "multi pattern". I have lots of gorgs so they need a ton of flow, plus it keeps crap from settling. will you message me some pictures of yours?
