The rumors of its extinction in the wild are very much exagerrated but I'll sell you a frag for $40 And it's actually Sinularia not Nepthea.

nepthea
Rare Palau Nepthea
Known only in captivity, this
coral is said to be extinct.
Frags will come in about 1",
but open up to 2 inches.
2" Open-$40
Sinularia *looks totally different*

also this wason that page...
Sinularia corals can be identified by the fact that the growth originates from a single heavy stalk unlike Nepthea and the polyps are less feathery than in colt corals.
