Does it drop arms or is it more like it’s encrusting?Hey reefers I need help with an ID of this coral. Looks very similar to a pink stylo but it's a softie..

It feels like a mix between a colt and finger coral

Hmmm seems unlikely, the "fingers" on this corals grow vertically and are generally shortish and stubby. The individual polyps look like tiny flowers

Could it be the same species as the WWC Speckled Leather? aka Blushing Coral?
(Cladiella sp.)

Very cool looking leather. I could find a place for that.

I googled WWC Speckled Leather and found an old thread here.

I don't think it's the same coral and at least we can narrow it down to a Cladiella SP. That was of great help! Thanks
