Coral I.D

[tone973]

I recently perchased my first set or caral frags for my tank and im kinda new so I really dont know what I have. I got all these frags for 25$ from a local reefer. Any help on identification and care tjat these corals need would be qell appreciated. I want to make sure I do my best with them to keep them healthy.

Right side are all zoanthids I think, easy corals to keep. Left side not sure, is the purple one back left hard or soft?

 

[tone973]

The back left ome amd back right are soft. They cloom out. The little things that look like pore actually blloom out to these tenticle looking type things. Ill try to catch them bllomed to get a pic.

The purple ones look like green star polyps, tank looks a little dark, what lighting do you have?

 

[tone973]

My light are off. Lol. Here it is with lights on. I have a 150 watt 20k metal halide.

 

[manbeast]

That looks much better

Yea I agree they look like green star polyps, also a pretty easy coral

In your first pic, the one to the left of the orange Zoas looks like a blue mushroom. They like low flow and to be on the bottom of the tank.

And the star polyps spread quickly, it is a good one to put on a rock island so it doesn't take over all your rock.

Thank you for the advice guys.

Yes a rock Island is a good idea.. my little frag is on a rampage to tank over the world lol

As you can see from your frag, star polyps grow in a mat, and you can slip a butter knife or something under it and peel it off of the rock pretty easily if it's getting out of hand.
