These guys are growing fast. I have three colors of polyps. purple, pink and orange. The largest on is about 4 inches tall now.
I have just never been sure if they were colts or kenya. they were a half this size when I got them a little over a month ago.
I would guess colt coral because they are just getting light with supplimental red sea calcium +3. Kenya tree need photplankton i thought. maybe not. The two just look so much a like.
I just took these pictures. the light has not been on long. they are still on there way to standing up.

Thanks

My guess is colt coral, often the 2 species are confused and if you research them you will find the 2 names mixed together.
Some Kenya colors are extremly rare and the most common seen is green. But I have what was sold to me as a colt it looks like yours, and to accuratly identify the specifc genus would require a sample a microscope and a biologist.. LOL.

It appears to be a colt to me too but it is hard to tell when the polyps aren't extended. Can you get a pic of it with the polyps extended?
