I have to admit, I never really liked softies, but this little guy was all brown in my wifes tank, but it had a hint of green in it, so I put it in my nano back at the end of september and its really coloured nicely.
What kind of coral is this?

Looks similar to a Kenya Tree.

Tank is looking awesome though! So clean!

If it's green under regular lighting it could be a palau nephthea like the one I have. If it's only green under actinics then maybe a kenya tree as suggested.

Maybe a green finger leather. I have one that kind of looks like that too. Is it stiffer like a leather coral or more swayey like a kenya tree?
