Not sure if I have had this one ID'd before or not, but there are a few new things I'd like to know about.. ;-)


1:

2:

And finally,

3:

Mind you, #'s 2 and 3 are sideways (Didn't rotate images before uploading.)

My main question, aside form their ID, is...

#3 is REAL close to #1. Will these 2 hurt one another, or are they a'ok as they are?

Thanks a ton guys. ;-) (and gals)
 
The top one looks like a cabbage coral, the second a mushroom, the third one a carnation coral maybe?
 
Thanks Fluff.. ;-)


I've heard somewhere that mushrooms had to be fed specially.. Is that correct, or am I misled?

The 3rd one looks like a tree... It's less that 1/2 an inch from the cabbage thing, when they are both open wide....
 
No, mushrooms don't need fed. I edited my post by the way. Possible ID on the third coral. I'm not sure about the aggression of these corals but, will try to find out.
 
Ok, from what I can find, having them that close is a bad idea. The tree coral is sensitive to other soft corals and the cabbage will shed. This mucus will effect other soft corals in close proximity. If possible, I would give them both some space. Soft corals are pretty hardy and they grow pretty fast. Save you some trouble to do it now while they are small.
Also, although I don't feel they "need" feeding, your corals may benefit from some type of phytoplankton added a couple times a week if you want.
