Can someone ID this coral

[philjo]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone can give me an ID on the below coral. I went to buy a tree coral (capnella) and this was supposedly on the same rock. But when he picked it up they were seperate. He put them all in the bag. So now I got this and the zoos aswell as the capnella. Colour looks pretty close in the photo (sort of grey and purple)

Thanks in advance
Phil

Thanks for the replies.
This was the 1 labeled capnella.

Do you think they are both capnella?

Not sure. Can you get a picture that has a little better focus?
Like the first one?

The last set looks more like a sinularia.

Hi

Amazing what a difference 24 hours makes.

Could it be a Blushing Leather Finger Coral?

The one you bought as the capnella looks an awful lot like cespitularia to me. Just a HUGE colony of it.
