Thanks for all the replies guys. Unfortunately I had to give the tank to a more suitable care taker. Daddy's rescue had to end. Perhaps another time.

Okay guys, I'm sure this is easy but I just need to make sure. Please let me know what corals I have and the kind of care it needs... First one: Second: This one shrank a lot. It was much more alive when I got it. Third: LFS said it's a leather coral? Fourth: This one is luminous...
