Hi there! Got some new corals in today from a local reefer and was hoping to get some ID's on them and placement/flow recommendations!

Ps. Keep in mind they have been in my tank less than 24 so they're not fully extended but I can post more pictures for clarification if need be.

#1 Has neon green polyps

I have ideas about what a few may be but want to get clarification to be sure. Thanks in advance :)
 
Also if I could get an ID on this clam that would be great as well!!

1-possibly bleaching birds nest
2- acro probably, know more when it grows out
3-bleaching pocillopora
4-millipora
5-bleached and tissue recession birds nest
6-no clue in current shape
7-acro
8-clams can be hard to id now that they have bred between different species. I want to say it is a derasa because of the shell, but I'm not aware of a true derasa with that coloring.

Thank you!

#1 has always been that light colour but now the green polyps are fully extended so I'm not sure that's bleaching but I'll keep an eye on it. I've seen it in his system fully extended but that same light colour a few months ago as well.

#3 I was aware this one was bleaching - do you think I could frag off all but the tip that isn't?

#5 this one is also light and showing polyps down most of it - the picture is bad now that I look back. That is dead algae that I had a bit of floating around my tank that got caught on it. Still trying to net it all up. I'm pretty sure it is the tip off a colony. Could the tips not have polyps because it's newly grown?

Def not bleaching in that picture.
The ones that are, you could try to frag them to save it but isn't always a fix.


Awesome thank you! Will give it a try. I got an incredible deal on all of it so I'll just give it my best shot :)
