Need help identifying to Soft Corals

I got two frags that were advertised as Kenya Tree....however now that I have them home and they've opened, I'm not positive that they are the same. I think one on the right might be Cladiella spp. aka 'Finger  leather coral' and the one on the left might be Nephthea spp. aka 'Tree Coral'.

 

What do you think??

Both? Why do they look so different from each other?

Because one is smaller and not as opened. They are bothKenya tree coral (nephthea). If you ever saw a finger leather you would understand. I always had a hard time with colt and kenya, now they look very simular to me.
