From what I could find, this species...

Also uses the "Finger Leather Coral" common name. Do you know if these names are shared? They look to be different species. For "Lobophytum pauciflorum" I could not find any source giving it this common name. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

  Yes, there is apprently a lot of redundancy with the common names of totally different corals. I have found this one here:
  https://www.reeflex.net/tiere/569_Lobophytum_pauciflorum.htm
  and they also call it Devils Hands

    Thank you, see it's already changed now. No preference either way, as long as a common name is unique. Posted 5 years ago

  Thanks! I was happy to find the species for this one as the soft corals are a big black box! Posted 5 years ago
