Finger Leather.....real name???

[kosey929]

Hi all!

I bought this coral at F&S yesterday and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. I'm having a hard time finding it in my coral book and it was sold as a "finger leather."

Thanks!!

As Jonnyraincloud said, I would say it's a Sinularia but it's hard to tell. it exist over 90 species in that genus.
Cladiella are often mistaken with finger leather coral but I dont think yours is a cladiella.

Have a look to this: http://pmeenligne.ca/madcaptains/in...&Repertoire_No=2137987737&Voir=sections_liste
for each species you can clic on the picture to get more info and more photo. I hope that will help.
