got some new stuff last night

[ThatGuy619]

i got a few things last night from a guy who is taking down his sw tank.

first is this snake like fish he couldnt remember the name

sorry for the blurry pictures he is a fast sucker

next are what i think are soft corals but not sure he thought they were plants

this has green tips you can see it and also has orange/red tips too but they are hiding

if anyone can help me out that would be great thanks.

The fish is an engineer goby. The corals look like kenya tree, and possibly encrusting gogordian or maybe star polyps with some zoos beside it? If you could turn the pumps of and get a better pic of the last one (the possible gorgonian), it would help to ID It.

new pic, doesnt look like any gorgornians i looked at on google

It wouldnt' be like a regular gorgonian. Something like these...
Frag Outpost - Coral Frags, Coral Frag Trading and Coral Propagation Resources
Encrusting Gorgonian - Large | Polyps | Corals & Invertebrates | Aquarium Livestock - ThatPetPlace.com
Gorgonians (about halfway down the page)

okay i can see it but the coloring is different

As Cindy stated, the encrusting coral could either be star polyps (pachyclavularia) or the encrusting gorgonian (Briareum/Erythropodium). It would help if you gave a description of texture and mat coloration (top and bottom). Kenya tree = Capnella.

4th picture is kenya tree coral (I've got one). They drop branches which attach very easily within the tank. Before you know if you've got a ton of 'em.

Could that other coral possibly be a xenia? They look similar to what I've got in my tank - growing on a mat..

I agree. The pic above looks like xenia. I have some blue pulsating xenia and it is spreading like a weed. The pulsating ends are fun to watch.

how would i attach it a piece of the xenia fell off and is on its own little rock i guess it floated to the other side of the tank
