Dendrophyllia or Dendronephthya?

I got this frag that was ID'd as dendrophyllia. The clerk told me that it was related to sun coral and would do fine under my PC lights. He also said that it would need regular feeding because it was not photosynthetic.

I came home, acclimated it, and glued the frag to a piece of rubble. It looked pretty good yesterday, nicely inflated and standing upright.


Today it is has almost come off the rock I glued it to and is a little droopy. Should I use another technique besides glue?



In the meantime I have been researching it and think that it is actually a dendronephthya. The good news is that it does not need lots of light but most every thing I've looked at says they are very difficult to keep alive.

What do you think? Which is it?

(PS, I couldn't decide which forum, LPS or Soft Coral, to post this in. I am so confused!)
