This will be a page to document the ID of Forestal (Dan).
This will be my own experience documenting another coral for ID, Gorgonian. The original started as a frag from local club trade. I have had for 1 years now Sources used for ID: Aquarium Corals, Borneman; Soft Corals and Sea Fans, Fabricius & Alderslade. Main difficulty is I am unable to dissect out the polyps, however the calyx appears to be slit like, immersed.
Coral used: original:

Fragment:

Live Coral under 10x power showing wall detail with sclerites (note calyces dark areas on side):

Bleached Sclerites under 10x power:

Unable to make match, guessing this is a carribean species, and looking for book with more of these.
