Can you name all my corals?

[Alexispr2000]

Hi there! Let me start by saying I'm not expert here . I started my first and only saltwater tank three years ago and had many corals and fish coming and going. But I want to said that in the last year my tank had been solid. No many changes or additions.

The funny part is that when somebody ask me the name of a coral I might go ! Don't get me wrong, I do my research before getting anything inside my tank to make sure it wont hurt the rest of the corals or fish but I never write down the name of the specie after buying, so I forgot many of the names.

Please take a peek and lets see if you can name most of the corals in my tank. Attached are two pdf files with #'s. One of the pdf its only a better angle but it share the same numbers than the Full tank view. Also attached are some pics for reference.

Thank you for your help and I hope you have fun!

Nice collection there! Are you asking for scientific names like "monti," "euphyllia," etc.?

Non just generic corals species. Zoos, plays, rhodactis and so on.

Sorry for the late reply Daniel, I would like to learn the scientific name. Now, it would be cool to know if they go by a common name too. I'm learning the hobby.

You can use the attached pdf which ID by numbers most of the corals in my tank.
Thank you and have fun!

Just for fun, how much $$$ do you think I have in corals?

 

[JordanS01]

Hmm, most the corals aren't that badly priced now...I work in a lfs so I'm using the prices we have. I would say around $650-$700.
3. Looks to be a zoa, maybe need a pic under white.
12. Still can't see it well. White lights can help.
20. MAxi Mini Anemone- Stichodactyla tapetum
