If a frag plug is shown in the image it is most likely 1.25" wide. This variety of coral has been a part of TerraReef's aquaculture systems since at least 2008 and possibly even earlier. Originally obtained from a fellow Delaware Reef Club member known as KaptKen (Captin Ken).

Under lower flow this coral can pulse! Similar to Xenia, but it is pretty cool to see hundreds of very small polyps moving around on their own. This coral is best kept in moderate to high flow, so the pulsing is often seen during "feed mode" when aquarist often reduce the flow to reed their tanks, during water changes when flow is shut off, or it is possible some with a controller may run lower flow a few times a day on their reef.

These soft corals are considered to be a very hardy beginner tolerant coral.

Soft coral identification to genus or species level is a bit complex, but we believe these may be Sinularia mollis. Klyxum and Cladiella also appear similar. Hobbyists may refer to them as Pulsing Finger leather coral, Cauliflower Colt Coral, Soft Finger leather, Blushing, Seaman's Hands Coral, and more.  We always called them "Colt coral", but others have said that common name isn't right.
