I think they certainly look pretty! Do you know what they are? (saltwater newb here...).

Pulsing Xenia
Frogspawn

And I think they said the one that looks like a bush was a leather but I'm not so sure about that one.

All opened up nicely except the one that looks like a bush. It completely closed up and kinda curled up. I can't get a pic because the light settings now are in moonlight mode. It was opened earlier though as you see from the picture so I'm hoping it's just a night time thing.

The "bush" almost looks like a toadstool.

This is what it looks like now. Sorry for the bad pics it's under very low moonlight setting.

Hopes it ok...

It looks like its coming of the rock it came on. It's not in a high flow area. It's moderate flow an was opened nicely today.

That's it, that jarred my memory. They said a toadstool.

Wow, I actually am learning something! It will close up like that under low light. Will open back up in the morning. Also, mine goes days sometime without opening. BTW , you did great on the price. Any one could have cost that much.

Awesome!! I feel good on both accounts!

Corals amaze me! As I'm typing it's opening up again! If you look closely at my horrible picture you can see it moved and it's starting to show the little tentacles .

The are really cool, but will get about a foot tall. I think carey has one in her 125 that is about 10-12 inches tall.

Oh wow!! I'll have to have a plan for when it gets that big. It's opening more and more. Love it. Life in everything!! Glad I broke down and started a saltwater tank.

check out toadstool coral on google images. They are one of my favorites.

Sweet buys!! I love my toadstool! He is super hardy

 

[Convict2161]

Awesome! Yup it's a toadstool! I'm pumped!! And all that for 55 bucks to boot!!

Sweeeeeeet deal! If your toadstool closes up suddenly and doesnt open for a week or so dont be worried, it is probably just shedding and he will open up again in a week. Just letting you know, cuz mine did that and i freaked out. Lol
