Hey guys, I am fortunate enough to have graduated from Cabrillo High School in Lompoc CA. They have a large amount of saltwater exhibits for salt and freshwater ranging from 5-600g tanks. Since my recent obsession with reefing I have looked into helping them fix up their warm water systems (They specialize in local saltwater life, not warm water). I'm super new to the hobby and need some help with the ID's of some of the corals (Mostly Softies) as I am creating a booklet full of pictures and info so that everyone can understand what they have in their warm water systems (most of the staff running the aquarium are kids who go to the school and most know little to nothing about the life in the tanks). I just feel like it would be so much more fun for everyone if they knew what they had. Any ID help would be awesome, I can generalize most of the coral ID's but im lost on specifics. Also, bear with me on the photos, I showed up before their lighting cycle really kicked on. I feel like some ID's here would help myself and other new reefers immensely. Here are my guesses:
List is in order of pictures
1. Favia of some kind?
2. Mushroom (Fluoresces bright green under blue)
3. Green Cabbage Coral
4. Tree Coral?
5. I am at a loss here, Paly?
6. Frogspawn or torch with shriveled polyps?
7. Zoanthids (unsure of species)
8. ?
9. Dead Coral?
10. NPS of some kind?
11. Mushroom
12. Leather and Cabbage?
13. Toadstool Leather?
14. At a loss, Palys?
