What I have is a piece of Mark's Nepthia (or Sinularia) and a piece of what was sold to me (from Bird World) as Lemnalia. Taxonomy is definatly not my forte, so to be honest I have no idea really what I have. When retracted both pieces look the same. When expanded, the polyps on my Lemnalia seem whiter then the Nepthia... although with time, the polyps on Mark's piece are turning whiter too. I'm of the opinion that both pieces are the same species whether it be Lemnalia, Nepthia or Sinularia.

It appears that most of these green soft coral specimins people are talking about can be traced back to the WMAS group and Tom Miller! To me this is awesome; to know the 8 year history of a propagated coral! It was equally neat to discover that Orrian had been keeping so much of it in it's own tank which, btw, had moved to Wyoming for a few years and back to Ogden!

I have a frag of it ready to go, but Orrian has larger animals, as you can see from the pic! He's in Ogden but has been to the last couple meetings, so may be willing to transport it there or to his work in North Salt Lake.

Call me at 296-1563 or contact Orrian at orrianr@orbitonline

Blastamosa also does fine in low light.
Keep your hands and arms inside the tank and enjoy the ride!
