Coral ID’s Help

Dfr06 · Dec 20, 2019

Hello. I have a few corals that I would like to know what they are. I was given one of these corals on accident. When I purchased the plate coral I noticed there was something in the bag with it. I think it’s a mushroom coral but not sure.

Sea fan species. Maybe Gorgonian

I was told polyps but that’s too generic it has a bluish purple centre and green outer ring

This is the one I believe to be a mushroom. It’s close to black in color

Plate coral

Flower pot

All of these are guesses. I would like to know their exact species. Most of these should be from the Indo pacific if it helps.

I don’t have any experience with fans, so I’m not sure about the first one. The second pic is zoas, may or may not have a name. Not sure about the third one, it’s hard to tell. Can you get better pictures? You got the last two right. The real name of the last one is goniopora, but it’s called flower pot sometimes.
