Hey, just wondering what this coral actually is. I got it out of the "bargin bin" at my LFS for $20 a while back. I think the guy told me it was a Devils Hand but he is questionable lol. It's grown very well in my tank and my clowns have hosted in it!

looks more like my colt coral than my devils hand. just pick a limb and snip it, it will be ok!

Definitely not a Devils hand. I agree with the post above looks like a colt to me. I if you want to frag it just cut a piece off and throw in some mesh with some rubble.

...after looking up Colt Coral, I think you two might be on to something lol. Thanks for the help!

Ah it looks like colt. I haven't seen a colt in person so I was wrong. Sorry for that

It looks like finger leather to me. I got a pink and green one in my tank. I would share a pic but the quality of the image is far too embarrassing :P
