I'm assuming you intended to add any undescribed species as well in your OP.

I got a Palau green finger colony in '97 a year before El Nino killed most of the sinularia in '98. It thrived in my tanks and a colony was donated to the Texas State Aquarium. Investigating the FALSE rumors of it's extinction in 2010 (it was also typically misidentified as nepthia) I found a taxonomist to identify what I was keeping. Turns out I had one of several species of finger type Sinularia and one of 6 new species identified by van Ofwegen in 2008. So for a decade I had an undescribed species in my tanks.

I have the exact same piece, tracing it back to the 90s as well. Such a cool underrated coral. Has a special place in my heart!
