    I've looked at pictures of coral for weeks, and I can't seem to find anything that looks exactly like this. The LFS said it was a tree coral, but the picture I found on the net didn't look like it to me so I thought I'd try posting on here. Sorry I know we should have done more research before we bought it but my husband always gets in a rush when he's excited about stuff. The coral seems to be doing fine but I wanted to make sure we were taking care of it right. Any information would be appreciated .

    Could you take/post another picture? Very difficult to see what's in the one you posted.
