Hey all, so my brother buddy has this coral he's willing to give me and doesn't know anything about it. I think it's a Green mushroom finger (sinularia sp)? Not sure and want to make sure on placement (top of tank right now) and care. He says it's not growing or anything in his tank and he's had it 2+ months.

It looks more like a nepthea. 75 -150 par and little stronger than medium flow. It also likes to wave back and forth like it's waving back a d forth. Once settled in its a decent grower.

Thank you, I’m going to look more into Nephea. I’ll have to place it probably mid to low tank, can it go 3-4 inches from my toadstool (still small). Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday I can look/bring it home.

Both will get rather large I would give them more space. B3fore I fragged mine it was about 18 inches wide and 15 inches tall.

I’m going with your original guess of Sinularia species, generally these are similar care to Sarcophyton and Lobophytum (one of these two genera is likely to be what your current Toadstool is)
