wrong id again (pic, colt?)


okee so i made another boo boo with id'ing a coral yesterday at the store.
i went in looking for kenya tree's and there was the label "kenya tree"
so i figured ok it must be a kenya even though it looked a little bit more fluffy, but it was small and hard to tell
i bought two of them, one for my 55g and one for my 12g aquapod
both are doing well but last night after they opened i said to myself hmm they dont look like kenya's, agast! can it be the dreaded colt coral??!!
colts are beautiful corals but they scare me with their sliming and are capable of taking out corals with their heavy slime (at least thats what i believe)
so heres the pics...its a colt isnt it?

not really colts take the sweet time to attach to rubble once you get it to attach grab the slimmy tenticle not the rocks. i have mine attached to 2 pcs or rubble i had it as a center pc with the rocks under the sand . Just yester day i moved it up about half way to the top of the tank as soon as i did that i got even bigger than it was when i had it on the bottom. originaly it was about 13L x 12h not that its up there is about 16Lx 15H i guess the closer i got it to the MH they were happy
