Coral Identification Please

Can anyone identify the coral that is attached to the peppermint?

Thank you

alveopora? not 100%

That's what I was guessing, but I'm just not sure... I was wondering i anyone knew for sure what it is. The peppermint isn't dying so it isn't very invasive.

Doesn't look like an Alve to me, They have 12 tps on thier polyp from what i can see in the pic, that one only has 8
What is the body of the coral like? LPS or softy? can you get a better pic?

That's about the best picture I can get with my camera... sorry if it is no help.

the branchy one is Candy Cane,
the polyps one is wood Xenia. Those polyps will extend about 2" long when they are mature.
really cool coral. I have some in my tank. They grow fast.
