Coral ID and somethings on it....

Can someone give me their best guess of what this may be?? And there seems to be some cottony thing on it in the middle there... should I be worried???

The top one. The bottom one was on the rocks that I bought from a guy selling his stuff and it hasn't down anything.

Need a better pic but I'm betting that the cotton stuff is some sort of sponge which is nothing to worry about

Thanks, I'll have to see if I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Alright, so this guy is happy in the morning when the lights come on, but then looks a little upset at the end of the day. I'm not really sure what he is, but a friend told me that it was a galaxy star. He's in a mild to medium flow area about half way up on a rock. I was thinking about putting him in the sand to see if he'd be more happy there. What do you guys think?

Clavularia sp. (galaxy star, sorry silly name). This corals does not need to be that high in the tank.

Yeah it's probably closing at the end of the photo-period due to over illumination. Give it some time to acclimate and the coral can probably go mid-way in the tank. They do like a mod flow to keep detritus from collection on it.
