Stereonephthya on DD

[MixedFruitBasket]

I saw tonight there were three colonies on the Maricultured list labeled as stereonephthya. I am 99% sure those were litophyton colonies and not stereo. If someone on here bought them, you may want to look very closely. I've seen this happen many times on DD. And without really good photos it's almost impossible to tell.

@MixedFruitBasket, tips to distinguish between the two? (better in-person obviously, since photos can be difficult).
