Ive just been calling it the palm tree coral becase i dont know exactly what its called, lfs didnt know either but its doing good whatever it is and some new little ones are sprouting up around it. Ive looked around online and the closest thing i could find is the Anthelia Thick Stem Waving Hand Coral, but it looks slightly diff to me.

i did a search and that looks like it, i never recognized it before cause i havent seen any white ones.
Another question is that i read that its recommended for middle to high light, and whenever i put it higher up in the tank it seems to curl backwards over itself, unlike in the pic were they are freely floating around in the water. Im afraid it isnt gettiing enough light at the bottom but thats the only place it wont curl over. I run 4 VHO's 2 white 2 blue

clove polyps can come in just about any color. Ever see the bright purple solomon islands ones? They're gorgeous.
