Alright you old SW fogies (j/k lol), I need some help on Iding a leather coral I bought a week ago.

The color is light pink, just sayin cause it doesn't show up to well in the pics I took.

I'll take some better ones when the lights come on tom.

I don't think it is a kenya tree, I think it looks more like a colt coral....cladiella....both kenya tree and colt are very similar in appearance and without a better pic it is hard to distinguish between the two.....nice looking piece all the same. Which ever it is they are easy and fast growers, if a kenya you will want to have friends to donate the babies to.....

Well I Think They Are Leather Coral For Sure
Colour Could Be Pink,light Brown
They Seen To Be Open Now
If They Have Small 1mm Tenticals Comin Out Of The Leather Skin
They Are Leather Coral
Check By Seing Closely At Their Bottom Part
It Should Be Having A Skin Like Whitish Yellow
Can Id More Liabaly When You Click Some Pictures Of It In Light
As I Am Not Nocturnal..lol

hmmm which ever it is it is a nice specimen. Both the colt coral and the kenya tree are almost indistinguishible unless viewed close up and I believe that without that close up look at the polyps it is almost impossible to tell.....check out pics of both kenya tree and colt coral and some are actually the same pic......go figure. it is sure nice though and is easy to keep....
