    I was told this was a Xenia but, I have never seen one like this. All the ones I have seen are rows of stalks. Thoughts?

    I think its more kenya tree. Colts have closer polyps and are a deeper color, but I'm probably wrong. Fiji softy?

    The polyp placement and size makes me think Nephthea sp. maybe?

    The only thing that I can find that comes close is cespitularia?
