Coral id. Pink sinularia or nepthea?

[Perpetual Novice]

Had a bunch of these growing all over my rock when I got the tank second hand. Pruned all but one away a year ago. Now wondering if it’s actually sinularia like I assumed. Is it Japanese pink mepthea? I love the color and growth pattern. The id would decide if I frag it or not. (Note this is my quarantine tank so rarely maintained well except for the clowns.)

Agree appears to be Kenya Tree. I love mine. Just branch hunting every few days takes a bit of time as they love to drop branches

Yeah looks like a Kenya tree. Pink Nephtheas like the ones in my main tank have visible sclerites (looks like white lines) on the stems and they also don't shed branches like Kenya trees. I have to periodically trim them down my Nephthea. Here's a picture of a small piece of mine...my mother colony is about 16 inches tall.

Why? Grow it out. If not snip and donate or give it to the lfs. I’m sure some one would appreciate it.

Hahah I don't like to throw away any of my corals (even GSPs or xenia). I've given away so many frags to my friends already.
