I may be wrong but this seems to be a pretty rare mushroom. I have no idea what it’s called and

have only seen it one other time and that is where I got it from.

Here are few rare softies from my collection

pink nepthea

Giant Bali pom pom

Yellow pulsing Sinularia

Hi @p@blo could you tell me we’re did you got the original pink Nepthea from? From all the images I’ve seen so far yours seems to be the only true japanese pink Nepthea around even big retailers are advertising something else I believe. Any chance of a close up shot of the polyps

I absolutely love softies but the nice ones like yours are too hard to find.
Those are amazing

I have some of the Japanese pink nepthea. It is one of my favorite corals!

Apologies for using you as an example, @p@blo is this the same coral as yours? This is the coral I believe big retailers are flogging as Japanese pink Nepthea not the original coral from Koji Wada

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Unfortunately with the coral bans of the past and today dealing with the virus, these used to be a lot bigger now they're very tiny pieces if you come across them. Whitish/pink scleronephthya from Indonesia.
46 Pacific oysters help these thrive, 46 gallon DT, 46 gallon sump

Here are some Koji Wadas; purchased from Manhattan Aquariums

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

I've pick those up from time to time and the wholesalers call them Lemnalia. I don't know if that's the right name for them

Koji Wada Pink Nepthea

Several years ago, I had a visit from a good aquarium friend- Koji Wada. Koji, owner of Blue Harbor Aquariums in Japan is probably best known for his love and dealings in uber rare fish. After chatting with him in our UniqueCorals.com facility, he reached into his suitcase and pulled out a...

This variety seems more darker and different body texture from yours and the ones I m reef builders.

True pink Nephthea is Japan’s best kept secret | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

There’s a gorgeous pink Nephthea soft coral that seems really common in Japanese reef tanks, but yet seems virtually unknown in American or European reef aquariums. We’ve been drooling over the pink…

Now thats a mushroom! Gorgeous!

I assume they are the same- manhattan aquarium and Unique are the same owners. I'll try to get a pic. The one in the reefbuilders video doesn't have the prominent sclerites

Here are a couple close ups. I irritated it moving it so the polyps are retracted, and the color is off...

I tried to get some pictures yesterday of my corals in qt, but some did not work. Here is the two mushrooms. Nothing fancy, but still very pretty.
I keep trying to get my japanese tree, but it does not cooperate with the camera. Too close to the top of tank. The picture below is somewhat decieving. It is more of a florescent blue/green color with light base and darker polyp tips. Cameras can be so wrong. But texture is right.
I did get a decent one of my reddish/purple based with green polyps leather.

 

[DanConnor]

The purple base with green polyps is pretty cool. Will be interesting to see how that grows out
