Help in identifying corals

[dhrjc]

Just started a Reef need help in identifying these corals

 

[traviere]

Here we go:
1. Sun coral
2. Trumpet
3. Button
4. Gonipora

I'm positive on the first 2. The second 2 are educated guesses based on the basic shape of polyps on the coral. If anyone feels correction is necessary, please chime in.

here is one more I missed

Hi bribo/anyone....... Got a lot of snails appearing in my reef tank. Saw at least 10 of them. My tank is just four months old. Hope these things are harmless.

Hi there. I have two anemones in my reef tank which somehow do not open up fully. The parameters are ok with the reef and fishes doing ok. Any tips to kick them to life. I have one clarki which tries once in a while to coax them but it seems it has also given up.

Do you know what kind of nems they are? It's hard to tell in the pic but I'd just give them time and keep parameters steady.

Roger. will ask my LFS but he may not know as he is also a rookie. Will try to find a pic of how it looked like.

The pods are fine. I'm bad with macros but it looks like grape caluerpa and mate feather caluerpa. I'd pull em out as they can be aggressive.

1. Thanks bribo, I read about the macros and have decided to take risk by keeping them under close scrutiny and regular pruning.

2. I tried to feed the macros to the fishes.... The fox face, regal tang and the velvet damsel seem to love it.

3. Is it ok to feed them occasionally on macros. Regularly I feed them on New life spectrum reef macro feeder and ocean nutrition formula two flakes (with garlic).

Regards
