Soft Leather ID + Growth over last few months

[JonoH]

Was wondering if anyone can ID this coral for me?

I inherited this one from someone that I bought my original tank off.

This is what it looked like when i first got it back in April 2023 -

And this is it now in October 2023 -

Are these also called Devils Hands? They look similar.

Devils Hands are Lobophytum species however I think you’re correct. It resembles more Lobophytum than it does a Sinularia brassica. However I have seen some Brassica that look like this one.

Devils hand and Finger Leathers are the same genus of coral - Sinularia
