Need A Soft Coral ID

[VSVP bet]

Hey All,

I saw this coral in a soft coral show-off thread (page 3 at the top). The post is from 2014, I replied to the poster but did not hear back. Any idea on a species ID? Looks like a finger leather or some type of branching leather? Or maybe a colt coral with not a lot of polyp extension? I'm stumped, hopefully you can help me!

Looks similar to a devils hand leather. Best of luck

Looks like pulsing sinularia. I have a large one in my tank.

Yes it does. Do you have pics of yours?

Looks like a devils hand to me - sinu would have many more small fingers.

It looks to me like a sinularia species instead of a Lobophytum species as the stalk on a Lobophytum is short and wide instead of thin and tall (This usually characterises a Sinularia).
It’s possibly a Sinularia polydactyla.
