Coral?

Looking over some tanks of the month on reef central I came across this.

Im interested in this, considering it look quite astonishing lol.

it might be a close up of a Briareum

Here is another shot of some Briareum soft coral...

It is not Briareum and I don't believe the pic above my post is either. The pic above my post looks to be more like Anthelia as I cannot distinguish a "sheeting" base. The first pic looks like a deep-water soft coral, gorgonian, or possibly a sea pen?....

Then Wikpidia is wrong, because that's where I got the photo from:

Wiki is often wrong about things...


I agree with innovator on both pics!
