Unknown Coral Growing Wildly

[Glott3133]

Can anyone identify the coral that’s growing behind the green pocilipora and next to the staghorn?

Clearer shot, closer, white lights, and is it soft or hard? Help us help you. BUT, if I were to guess based on the available info, I would say a Pink Pocillopora variety of some sort.

It is soft and flowing with the water. It grew from a piece of live rock I bought over a year ago. I can get whiter light during the day when my tank isn’t ready to go dark for the day.

I also believe that is stinging some of the coals around it.

Looks like a colt coral of some sort to me. They are known to be aggressive if I remember correctly which would explain the stinging.

Looks very much like Pink Pocillopora Coral

Ok, so if it is a softie then we definitely need better shots. Possibly a Sinularia Sp...?

I vote Kenya tree (Capnella sp.). Mine doesn’t bother the pocillopora to its left but it did cause some tissue loss in a Montipora setosa I had to move.

( nice corals by the way!)
