Gareth is right on those pics. When closed you can tell the difference even more. The coral look very smooth with no stalks at all. It almost looks like a sponge. palythoa is commonly misidentified. I ran into at least a half dozen web sites the had protopalythoa labeled as palythoa. It is good that these were posted so people can see the difference. With sps's it gets even harder to identify a coral.
