Its not a yellow finger leather ( I have one of those). It does expand greatly and reacts and looks alot like my green nepthea...maybe a yellow nepthea? I have never seen it before at any store, and I got it from a guy who was breaking down his tank a year ago. Its getting quite large ....maybe 14 inches across. For thos who have seen my tank...what do you think?

Nope I have some of that as well. Ever seen a colt that color? and hold for 2 years? It also doesn't give of much slime when touched.

I have a frag from Arnold and it is much more blue than the other neptheas I have. I'm with Gresham, but it may also be a "Super rare LE APON blue sinularia"! ;-)

Double click the attachments to see them larger.

It could be a sinularia sp..... thanks Gresham. I want to bring some to the swap, but they may not be mounted.

Thanks Charles - wow I finally can name something after me : )

I still haven't seen anything exactly like this coral in any stores yet.

Your frag doing well? Blue? it way yellow in my tank only shows blueish color when its closed up. I had a PH issue with my tank a little while ago and I lost most of my newer SPS (your slimer too) but all the older sps show no signs of anything wrong? Maybe they are thougher or just slowly got used to it.
