ID please. Blue Broccoli coral?

[BatmanGefle]

Hi,
can any of you ID this blue softie? LFS wasn't sure but, the name 'Broccoli coral' was thrown around a bit... But when I search that name I get quite a lot of different species as results, and my local swedish forum is dead silent on the matter so my hope is on you!

The head is blue with white, slightly golden, polyps. And as you can see on the picture, it doubles in size when the lights are out (from approx. 3cm to 6cm).
Neospongodes or Dendronephthya?

Thanks!

Sounds/looks like a carnation coral - aka cauliflower which is probably where the broccoli came from. It's non-photosynthetic.

Agree. But since it's still quite small it's hard to tell (for me). Most pictures are of larger, more branched specimens...

It's gorgeous whatever it is!

Photography is not my cup of tea, but this one is a little more detailed...

Got an even better pic last evening. It usually only stretches out like this when the lights are out/very very dim but apparently it liked it when I fed my fishes Massticks [emoji16]

It's an nps coral, needs phyto or fine food to live, dendronephtea I think.

Yep, most people I've talked to agree with Dendronephthya (and so do I) so I think the matter is settled now...
