in a nutshell.
the Furcata has a light greenish looking polyp/button to it. the Curvata has a brown andsometime darker green button to it. the Furcata does not need as much light as the CUrvata.
if your looking at the care level the Furcata will be the easier one

dont forget that you want to feed it during the night time. it will sent out feelers and will eat " meat" ( shrimp, silversides)

you will have to make sure that they are a WAY from the SPS so the feeders dont hit them
