Leather ID?

[Gdbyrd]

...What do you think?

I said I wanted a softie that was really easy to frag for my frag tank, and this is what they sold me. Hard to tell I'm sure with it being deflated, but it's all I've got for now.

to hard to tell from the pic for me

Is it green, or is that the picture playing tricks on me? If it's green, it may be a green nepthea. But it's hard to say since it's not opened up.

Stalk is white, ends are green.

I'm hoping it'll open up nice and perty tomorrow so I can get a better pic.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yep, then it's a green nepthea.

Cool! And I was wondering if I had bought some kenya weed. Is it a quick grower/easy fragger?

 

[Bifferwine]

It's not as quick a grower as kenya weed is -- but that's a good thing. It is a pretty quick grower (compared to other corals) and is easy to frag -- you just need to take a razor blade to it.

If it turns out like the pictures Biff posted that will be a nice looking coral. Congrats!

Biffs just showin off now :mrgreen:
But she's right:D

 

[Gdbyrd]

It's inflated some today, at least it's getting close to standing upright...But it still hasn't opened up to its full "glory." Thank you for the ID and the returned PM!

 

[Bifferwine]

You're welcome.

Looks like a kenya leather tree to me I have 2 in my tank.
