Completely guessing NPS.
Maybe some type of dendro.
Where did you find it?
That is beautiful!

@Sallstrom
Any ideas?

Soooo nice, still kicking. One month now?This one was bought as a Dendronephthya sp.
I'm so used to seeing the sclerites on dendronephthya, don't know if yours shows any. Also most dendronephthya, sold as cauliflower in description of coral, have no sclerites, go figure. Gorgeous coral.
