Leather ID

[aquaman3680]

I can identify most corals, but I've never been very good with leathers. Any help identifying what this one is?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Its either a nepthea or sinularia. Common name for both is finger leather

Main difference is sinularia produces scerites little shards of bone like material. They are considered reef builders since these shards will help build a reef. Care is identical.

Awesome, I appreciate it! I believe it's a sinularia then, the camera can't pick it up but just looking at it I can almost see the shards in it. Thanks for the help!

Your welcome. You may see them better as it gets bigger or when you end up fragging it.
