What kinda soft coral is this

[Cthulukelele]

It has what almost looks like fairly decent length hairs all over it that sway in the flow that glow a pale green. It can also contract and close up. Not only do the hairs seal up--it shrivels to maybe half its size.

Looks a lot like my fuzzy lobophytum.

Resembles Sinularia polydactyla to me.

That is totally it! It even does the little pulses those apparently do! Thanks for the ID!

I'm pretty much convinced that pulsing sinularia and what ORA sells as "Fuzzy Lobo" is the same thing (https://www.orafarm.com/product/fuzzy-lobo/). It even pulses just like the sinularia but is much easier to come by from ORA. I'm not really sure what the correct classification is, so I just refer to it as what it was sold as.

So you're both right and everyone wins!

Although mine has much longer hairs than what you linked and less defined polyps, but it may just be in different conditions!

That is a nice one!!! I'm just starting to collect some softies.Some of the best tanks I see are full of softies.

No the polyps are definately different ...hard to single out a single polyp on polydactyla but easily distinguishable on the lobo...i have 3 different frags and theyre all long and stringy almost...

Fwiw my fuzzy lobo has longer polyps and looks almost identical to the op’s picture.
