Condylactis gigantea?

Pretty common in the Atlantic/Caribbean, and also in the aquarium trade.

i don't think so. the tips aren't colored at all, and all the pictures
i've seen of those have bulbs at the tips. mine doesn't have any bulbs,
but has very pointy tips.

My money is on the manjano. I have a few of them that were hitch
hikers, and all of them are pretty well different colors. One is
exceptionally large, and glows just beautiful under actinics or lunar
lights......From what I have read and been told about manjano, they
can come in a variety of colors, just like aipstasia, which for the
most part folks always seem to think only comes in the dull brwon
color.......but I have some neat florescent yellow / green
aipstasia...
