I managed to get a new shot of my Sinularia dura sso I thought I'd post it up. Not the most exotic of corals...but they are easy to maintain and they can be very adaptable to various lighting ssources.

good luck - horrible stuff. Mine ended up dying out and wonderful hair algae took it's place.... - Even harder to get rid of.:mad:

(At least now I don't feel so bad about posting a pic with a teeny tiny bit of Hair Algae in it...) :D

Here's mine. Sorry I don't have one of just the coral, so here's the whole 29 gallon tank. Coral is right center. Huge guy, just fragged about 6 pieces.

Anybody ever seen pulsing sinularia?
There is a local reefer with some, very interesting coral. And no, it is not pulsing xenia.

Hmmm...Nephthea have nonrectractile autozooid polyps and Sinularia have solely autozooid and retractile polyps. Which I believe means that the polyps of one retract and the other does not....that technical stuff gives me headaches. But...bottom line is they are very much alike and only those with precise structural knowledge can properly ID them as being seperate species.

Central stalk, antler like branches, smaller (less feathery) polyps...
I'd say Sinularia...
Or possiably Lithophyton (Tree coral) that's not fully opened...:thinking:
