Coral ID please

Skinner'sReef · Sep 27, 2019

Hello can someone please help me ID these corals and any tips on keeping them happy?
I know one is a chalice i'm just not sure exactly what kind?
Also i'm really starting to regret buying that carpet anemone, can he hurt the chalice coral if he decides to go for a walk? hes been planted in that spot for about 2 weeks not but i'm afraid he's going to move and damage or hurt my corals.

Oh yeah, sorry about the lighting I took these pictures at night because the coral on top "Acans" you say only comes out like that at night, during the day its all shrivled up and looks almost like it got chewed up. It looks like it would be hard but its actually soft. These 2 are my favorite 2 corals by far.

Definitely Acans and a Chalice. You're Acans are shriveled during the day? Seems strange. I'm guessing you haven't had them long? In time they'll puff up during the day.

Anemone should be fine unless he decides to take a trip. but even then you should have plenty of time to move the coral (or nem.) And if the anemone hasn't moved in 2 weeks you probably don't have to worry to much anyway.

Welcome to R2R

Thank you guys for all the feedback. Yeah the acans are new and my mistake I mixed that up they pop out completely during the day and shrivel up at night. I just bought a can of reef roids, never used that before ive been just squeezing phyto plankton at my corals.
My next question is can I mix the reef roids with phytoplankton and target feed them together?

Its very possible but hard to tell under heavy blues. If polyps are a bright green- bird nest would make sense
