Violet soft coral ID

[andymcl82]

Can anyone tell me the name of this coral. The kid at the LFS said it was a violet something but I can't remember

 

[Reefing Madness]

I can't tell from that shot.

 

[daalbers]

Looks like pulsing zena

 

[Ssminnow81]

Maybe anthelia

 

[TwelveL16]

where did you get it?

 

[andymcl82]

Preuss Pets in Lansing, Michigan. They have a couple big ones and I keep forgetting to ask the name when I go.

 

[Thesmallerthebetter]

definitely a xeniid sp., without it being open i cant tell any further than that though

 

[andymcl82]

I asked when I went to the LFS yesterday. They said cespitularia

 

[Patwa]

yeah that's purple cespitularia...sorta like a giant version of xenia...it doesn't pulse. polyps get big and beige coloured, the body will get a deep indigo

Vargas Cespitularia is a sensational purple and yellow Xeniid from ORA
